The Cleveland Cavaliers were rolling on Monday night as the electrified Quicken Loans Arena got the show that they paid for.

The Cleveland Cavaliers won this game 116-15 after being up 14 points at half.

This game was full of highlights from the Cavaliers. Not only did they embarrass the Raptors, but this team showed why they should be considered the deadliest in the Eastern Conference.

LeBron James is getting the game ball for this game as he put up 35 points in 42 minutes of action. Lue took him out of the game for the last three minutes so in reality he only got three minutes of real resting time mid-game. I wonder if James heard about the Raptors getting P.J. Tucker, the LeBron-stopper, and he just decided to erase all hope for Toronto.

His mid-range game was on point, and he was attacking wisely. James and Irving both played excellent games. Irving put up 24 points and dished out 10 assists. One of the those assists might go down as the dunk of the playoffs and can be seen below:

This was just one of the many highlights that made this game fantastic to watch. The second best highlight might have been James trying to take a quick as he snagged and sniffed a beer from the sideline worker.

This was a fantastic start to the series for the Cleveland Cavaliers. I only really want to highlight one stat, and it is turnovers. The Cavaliers had three turnovers after the third quarter which is incredibly impress. They ended with 12 turnovers, but only 3 through three shows just how well they can protect the ball.

This game ended in a different way as Dahntay Jones destroyed a Raptors soul and then was ejected for talking to the referee after getting a technical.
