Before 2018, no team ever beat the Celtics when they were 2-0 up. That’s when LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers happened.

King James earned huge praise from fans and analysts alike for his phenomenal performance. Furthermore, he led his team to the NBA finals that year with this win over the Celtics. During that series, James averaged an insane 33.6 points, 9 rebounds, and 8.4 assists. (Source: basketballreference.com)

The Cavaliers faced the Golden State Warriors led by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant. Although James’ heroics led his team to the finals, they fell short to the Warriors.

Interestingly enough, the Celtics were the number 1 defensive team back in 2018. And, they are the number 1 defensive team this time around as well!
