The Cavaliers Are Dominating The Eastern Conference Finals Like We Have Never Seen Before.

In my years of watching basketball, I have never seen an Eastern Conference Finals Series as lopsided as this one. The Cavaliers were up 72-31 at halftime and they never relinquished their lead in the second half.

LeBron James finished with 30 points, 7 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks. James was a scorching plus 45 when he was on the court in Game 2. Kevin Love had a 21 point, 12 rebound double-double and Kyrie Irving poured in 23 points.

The final score was 130 to 86. The Cavaliers set records for the most points scored and the largest defeat in postseason history.

Even at halftime, Cleveland led Boston by 41 points, setting a record for the largest halftime margin in NBA Playoff history.

Also, when counting last season’s three straight wins in the Finals, the Cavaliers have now won 13 straight playoff game, tying an NBA record with the 1989 LA Lakers

Finally, King James passes another Michael Jordan milestone. With his four steals in Game 2, he now stands alone with the second most steals in NBA postseason history.

We look to be heading toward a Cavaliers-Warriors trilogy. As the Cavs head back home with a 2-0 lead and Golden State has dominated a Kawhi Leonard-less Spurs team.

Even with an insurmountable 40 plus point lead in the second half, Coach Lue kept the Cavaliers Big-3 on the floor until late in the third quarter. A big reason for this was to close the quarter out strong, but also to send a message to the Warriors.

Both teams understand that they’re on a collision course, and the Cavs just flexed their muscles to show Golden State that they’re ready for a showdown.
