Boston Celtics handle the best the Cavaliers have to offer

The Boston Celtics did the seemingly impossible when they shut down LeBron James and took game one against the Cleveland Cavaliers in commanding fashion. Everyone knew James would be a different monster in game two, and he delivered one of the most special performances of the playoffs.

James bounced back exactly as you would expect, with a 40 point triple double, and a 21 point first quarter to make sure the Celtics could not get the start they did last game.

Kyle Korver helped with that early spark, and Kevin Love even brought 22 and 15.
