Down 3-1, the Cavs have their backs well and truely up against the walls when they travel to Boston for Game 5.
Despite being without leading scorer Donovan Mitchell, Cleveland managed to compete with the Celts in Game 4, ultimately losing by 7.
The Celtics haven’t been crash hot at TD Garden during the post season, losing two of five games, while winning four from four on the road.
The Cav’s will be the far more desperate side in this one, and I have them covering the massive +15.5 point line.
Dallas had an absolute stinker at home in Game 4, missing 11 of their 23 Free Throws, while shoot 40% from the field.
Kyrie only put up 9 points from 11 shots, while Luka was largely inefficient, going 6/20 from the field.
Despite all this, they led for almost the entire game, losing at the death by four points.
I think the experience of Kyrie and Luka will shine through in Game 5, lifting their side to victory, or at least to cover the line.
