Early on, this game got ugly with LeBron picking up four fouls before the end of the second quarter. Down by 10 at half, it looked like the Celtics might pull off another unexpected upset. However, it was Kyrie Irving's night. He put the team on his back for a career high 42 points with 21 of them coming in the third quarter. The Cavaliers outscored the Celtics 40-23 and never looked back. The Cavaliers proved they can win without LeBron playing well which doesn't bode well for the Celtics who really made a few people think that they had life at half. Realistically, LeBron needs to pick it up or else Golden State will take advantage. They won't roll over and go cold like this Celtics team did tonight.
