The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics each won 60-plus games, an average of 12 more than the lower-seeded Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks. As the East series take a day off before resuming Friday -- Indiana and New York take their 2-0 leads into Games 3 and 4 at home -- let's examine what has gone wrong for the favorites and what that tells us about the chances of Boston and Cleveland coming back to reach an East finals matchup that seemed inevitable a week ago.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are hosting the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night in Game 2 of their second-round series. Indiana won Game 1 and stole home-court advantage against the top-seeded Cavs on Sunday, and Cleveland will be without three key players -- Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and De'Andre Hunter -- Tuesday night.
