The Boston Celtics have reached their third straight Eastern Conference finals, where an increase in degree of difficulty almost certainly awaits.
The owners of the NBA's best record in the regular season put away the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 113-98 win on Wednesday, ending their series in five games. They will advance to face either the New York Knicks or the Indiana Pacers for a trip to the NBA Finals.

It's a familiar sight in the East, where the Celtics have reached the conference finals six times in eight years.
