The Cavaliers only shot 38.4% from the floor tonight and that trumped the fact that they outrebounded the Celtics 48-37. LeBron James came to play tonight as he finished up with 27 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1 blocked shot. But he was a tad sloppy with the ball as he had 9 turnovers in this game. Mo Williams pitched in with 22 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. Shaquille O’Neal only played 24 minutes and he finished up with 11 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. The Cavaliers lose this series 4-2 to the Celtics and I think some heads are going to roll because of it. I fully expect Mike Brown to get fired over the weekend as there is no reason why the Cavaliers should have lost this series.
