The Cleveland Cavaliers are in control of their Eastern Conference finals matchup with the Boston Celtics, as they have a 3-1 lead, but that control doesn't stack up with the level of dominance the Cavs were exuding a week ago.

In Games 1 and 2 of the series, Cleveland blitzed Boston, winning both games in Massachusetts by an average margin of 28.5 points — a number that doesn't properly convey how dominant Cleveland was.

Last Friday, it was clear: The Cavs were on their way to a 12-0 playoff record and a third date with the Warriors in the NBA Finals.

The latter is going to happen — Cavs-Dubs III will tip off in Oakland on June 1, this Celtics' team isn't going to win the next three games — but that perfect record is, obviously, no more.
