Those who watched Game One on Sunday afternoon got to experience exactly what makes the Cleveland Cavaliers the favorites to win the Eastern Conference. Major contributions from LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love accounted for 69 of the teams 113 points, and had moments of individual brilliance from start to finish.
Now, with the formula in place and executed quite well, the Cavaliers still found themselves trailing after the first quarter and in a tight game up until the half. If the Boston Celtics are to take any positives away from their game one loss, they can find a few bright spots from the opening stages.
