The Cleveland Cavaliers have pushed the Boston Celtics to the brink of elimination with Thursday night’s 103-95 victory at TD Garden to take a three-games-to-none lead in the first-round series.
The Cavs’ “Big Three” all contributed to the big victory, with LeBron James scoring game-high 31 points and Kyrie Irving adding 13 points and six assists. But the game from Kevin Love put Cleveland over the top. The power forward scored 23 points on 8-for-16 shooting, including 6-of-10 from beyond the arc.
Irving was conducting an on-court, postgame interview with newsnet 5 Cleveland’s Mike Cairns when he was asked a question about Love’s shooting prowess that would have been innocuous at best if it wasn’t for how poorly it was phrased by the newsman.
