Life is good for Lebron James as he had a big hand in giving the Boston Celtics their second loss of the year as the Cleveland Cavs all-world player had 38 points including a big three pointer and 6 made free throws in overtime during the Cavaliers 109-104 win Tuesday night in Cleveland.
James scored 11 of the Cavs 17 points in OT to give Cleveland their fourth win in a row as they improved to 9-6 on the year but more importantly it was a good win against a quality conference opponent. He also added 13 assists. Drew Gooden had a season-high 24 points and 13 rebounds and Zydrunas Ilguaskus had 15 points and 14 boards as Cleveland’s top trio all had double-double’s.
Boston’s Ray Allen led the Green with 29 points. Kevin Garnett had 19 and Paul Pierce added 16 in a losing cause. Rookie Glenn Davis chipped in with 8 points in 6 minutes off the bench.
The Celtics return home on Thursday to face Isaiah Thomas’ New York Knicks, the game will be broadcast nationally on TNT. I don’t believe the Celtics were on TNT at all last season. If you’re going to the game make sure you keep any females you care about away from Thomas and the area of the Knicks bench.
