After his Game 3 performance (4 of 13 shooting for 11 points) and the criticism that followed, the King has a point to prove, which basically spells the end for Boston.
Despite solid Game 3’s from Love (28 points) and Kyrie (29 points), the focus has been on Lebron’s lack of urgency and attack. James took 3 shots in the 4th quarter, missing them all, and for a guy whose legacy hinges on comparisons to the GOAT, Michael Jordan, performances like that will always take him two steps back. You can bet MJ never lost urgency in the 4th quarter of a Conference Final.
The Celtics stole Game 3 from the Cavs after deciding to show up late in the 3rd quarter, stunning the home crowd, who had already started blowing up the balloons.
Cavs won’t make the same mistake this time. That line is still too high though. Best Bet is the Unders once again.
