GAME #1: Cleveland Cavaliers 101, Boston Celtics 93
The Cavs were down 11 points at halftime last night but they woke up in the second half outscoring the Celtics 58-39 in the second half to pull away with a rousing home victory. LeBron James’ elbow might have been bugging him a bit but it didn’t show as he finished up with 35 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots. Mo Williams energized the Cavs in the third quarter when he scored 8 consecutive points including his first dunk ever as a Cav over Paul Pierce. Williams finished up with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists last night. Shaquille O’Neal finished up with 11 points and 4 rebounds on 4 of 12 shooting from the floor but he had a couple of really hard fouls on Rajon Rondo that discouraged him from driving the lane in the second half of the game. J.J. Hickson made a brief and outstanding performance for the Celtics last night with 11 points and 2 rebounds in 12 minutes off the bench. The Cavaliers are up 1-0 in this series which continues tomorrow night in Cleveland.
