Game one of this second round series between the Cavs and the Celtics was a closely contested game but the Cavs came up with the first first win in this one in a final score of 101-93. The Cavs didn't play a great first half because of the Celtics defense and hot shooting from Ray Allen and others. The Celtics were running their offense to perfection and getting stops on defense but the Cavs woke up in the second half an dcame up with the victory. Lebron James as usual would come up with the game high in points and in this one he ends up with 37 points. Most of it came in the second half. Even Shaquille O'neal pitched in big in this game with 12 points and 10 boards. Playing very aggressive, taking advantage of his weight and height to not let the youngsters of the Boston Celtics get to him. He was man handling Kendrick Perkins but their wasn't much Kendrick could do. Shaq also got a few good assists by kicking the ball out to shooters or feeding the ball to LeBron James cutting in the lane for layups.
Cavs only shot 45% from the field in the first half but woke up and shot a good 52% in the second half and out rebounding the Celtics by 5 in the second half. Everyone contributed and this is going to be a good series. The Celtics played hard ball and they are just waiting for game two to start and we hope are Cavs are as ready as they are. If the Cavs keep up th paste as they are doing right now, I can see them advancing to the eastern conference finals, but that's just my prediction. we'll see what happens in the next few games. Thank you and goodbye
