The Boston Celtics are one game away from upsetting the Cleveland Cavaliers and reaching the NBA Finals, but Game 6 is in Cleveland, and the Celtics have only won one road game this postseason. Will they be able to overcome those road demons, or will LeBron and the Cavs force a Game 7?
Here's a full Game 6 preview:

Boston Celtics show value of extra opportunities in game 5 (Fansided)

The Cleveland Cavaliers will go as far as LeBron James takes them (Fansided)
Prediction: Cavs win 110-97
Why has the home team won every game in this series? Role players traditionally play better at home than they do on the road and I expect that to continue for the Cavs - especially considering the Celtics are just 1-6 on the road this postseason. Plus, you can count on LeBron James having a huge game.
