Recap: Celtics Beat Cavs to Take the 2-0 Lead

“LeBron is going to get his 40 points- so what?! So long as we can shut down the rest of his team we got this. We’re at home”
-Every Celtics fan.

After leading for all but 8 minutes during the first game, the Celtics knew they’d take the Cavs best punch heading into Game 2 on Tuesday night.

LeBron responded as expected: he dropped a triple double with 42 points in the TD Garden- but only one other Cleveland player even cracked the 20 point mark, and the Boston Celtics relied on a team effort to remain undefeated during the playoffs on their parquet floor.
