Cleveland can do no wrong in the postseason, at least thus far. It entered Friday's contest with a perfect 9-0 record, and it would take a collapse of epic proportions not to make it 10 straight wins.

Making matters worse for the Celtics, a hip injury forced Isaiah Thomas to leave Game 2, and the team announced he won't return.

After ending the 2016-17 regular season 10-14 in their last 24 games, the Cavs have emphatically answered any concerns about their ability to play at a high level.
