LeBron who?
Led by the ageless Big 3, the Celtics absolutely destroyed the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight, 120-88.
Chew on these numbers...
Paul Pierce: 21 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists
Kevin Garnett: 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 blocks
Ray Allen: 25 points, 6-9 3FG, 4 assists
It really was a complete team effort on both ends of the court.
Pierce and KG (did he abuse Antawn Jamison or what?) fueled a 16-0 second quarter run which turned an 8 point deficit into an 8 point lead.
Ray (back to back 3s in the first 30 seconds of the 2nd half) and Rondo (12 of his 16 points) led the charge in the 3rd quarter.
The Celtics led 80-63 going into the 4th. I'll admit it, I was scared shit the Celtics would blow this lead. Fortunately for me, Glen Davis was there to ease my fears. BBD dropped 12 of his 15 points in the final quarter. The Celtics defense was stifling. Cleveland shot 41% for the game. LeElbow shot 3-14. The Cavs turned the ball over 17 times.
