Pick - Team Total
Mavs team total u101.5 (-106)
Boston’s defense refocused after its first two losses this postseason. After Miami scored 111 points in Game 2 of the first round, the Celtics held the Heat to 30% from deep and 48% from the field in scoring just 84 points in Game 3. When the Cavs scored 118 points in Game 2 of the second round, Boston held the Cavs to 33% from deep and 43% from the field in scoring just 93 points in Game 3. Joe Mazzulla certainly adjusts well on the rare occasion an opponent catches Boston off guard. And a team this good may sometimes need that jolt to refocus.
