The Cavaliers looked great in the 1st half as they rolled out to a 50-38 1st half lead. But the roof caved in during the 2nd half of the game as the Cavs lost their aggressiveness as the Pistons beat them up 41-26 in the 2nd half. It’s amazing how bad of a coach that Mike Brown of the Cavs is. He used up all of his timeouts and didn’t have any the last 5 minutes of the game when they really needed them. Then he threw a temper tantrum that earned him a technical at the end of the game to ensure the Cavs lost the game. LeBron James played hard as he finished up with 19 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. Sasha Pavlovic also had a decent game with 14 points and 3 steals, but he also had a costly error near the end of the game when he got called for traveling….and their wasn’t even a Piston defender near him. Anderson Varejao was outstanding off of the bench with 14 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. Daniel Gibson also played well off of the bench with 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in only 20 minutes on the court. Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden all disappeared last night as they combined to score 11 points on 5 of 19 shooting. The Cavs are now down 2-0 as the series shifts to Cleveland.
