Before the game

Spoiler-free context

Defending champion Cleveland had swept its first two playoff rounds and opened the conference finals with another comfortable win in Boston. The top-seeded Celtics needed a home response to prove the East was not merely a clear runway back to the Finals for LeBron James.

Cleveland led 1–0 and had not lost a game during the postseason.
Boston's Isaiah Thomas was playing through a hip injury after an emotionally and physically demanding playoff run.
