Many expected the Cleveland Cavaliers to progress without much resistance in this series, and until game three that had been the case. The Boston Celtics had other ideas though and showed they had some fight in them. Many expect their win in the third match of the series though to be merely a blip for the usually rampant Cavaliers, as many predict business as usual in game four.
