Game 3 loss is just what Cavs needed

It is safe to say that pretty much all of the basketball world was shocked at the result of Sunday night—an unprecedented 21-point comeback win by the Boston Celtics in a series that had a Cleveland Cavaliers sweep written all over it.

It is still hard for anyone to see the Cavs losing this series but Game 3 showed that the Cavs are at least vulnerable and that LeBron James is human. The loss also gives the Golden State Warriors a chance to get at least three days more rest than the Cavs, given that the Warriors completed their third sweep of the 2017 playoffs Monday night.
