NBA Games

Celtics are 7-0 at home in these playoffs, 0-6 on road, which is why they're playing Game 7 at home for second series in a row. Boston won three home games in this series by 4-16-7 points, after winning by 23-19-25-34 points in first round vs Atlanta-- they're 1-2 as home favorite in this series, 5-2 in playoff home games. Cavaliers are 4-2 as road underdog in series; they have the best player, have come close in two of three games in this series at Boston, but can they finish the job at the end?
