After winning by four victories to one against the Miami Heat in the previous instance, the Celtics will now have as their rivals one of the best defensive teams in the League, so the confrontation will be remarkably attractive if we take into account the attacking power of Boston.
For their part, the “Cavs” reached this stage with much more effort, and had to go four wins to three against the Orlando Magic, who were a tremendous battle in the most disputed series of this first round.
While it is true that the Celtics come out as heavy favorites to win this tie, both teams met 10 times during the qualifying phase and the match ended with five victories for each team.
This Tuesday the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Dallas Mavericks will also begin their conference semifinal in the western sector.
