Result:
LOSS

LeBron put to rest questions about his elbow injury last game as the Cavaliers came out and made a huge statement in game three. They crushed the Celtics on their home floor to re-gain home court advantage. This series is shaping up to be one in which either team can win any game, and it can be close or a blow out. Boston nearly took a 2-0 lead and beat the Cavs by 18 points in Cleveland. Cleveland beat Boston in the Garden by 29. So who will win this game? I honestly have no clue! But I do like the first-half UNDER. All three of the first three games have gone OVER in the first-half. The first two squeaked over while last game went way over thanks to 65 first-half points by the Cavs. Guess what Boston is going to be focused on today after giving up those 65 and 125 for the game? You guessed it. They will have a renewed energy, especially early on. There is no way they let the Cavs go off like that again on them early. The Celtics are 31-13 UNDER in the first-half in their last 44 home playoffs games. Since last season, they are 33-20 UNDER in the first-half when revenging a loss and 53-38 UNDER vs. winning teams. I look for this one to stay under this total in the first-half.
