Cleveland Beats Detroit and Takes a Commanding 2-0 Series Lead »

The Cavaliers took a 2-0 lead despite the Pistons cutting a 29-point lead to as little as seven points in the fourth quarter. For three quarters, the Cavs were at their basketball best. In the final period LeBron James slid into his seat on Cleveland’s bench and slipped on his warmups, content to watch his teammates finish off the Pistons. However, he had to go back in and restore order as Cleveland held on for a 94-82 win on Tuesday night to take a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series. King James led the Cavaliers with 29 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. James has scored 20-plus points in 43 of his 48 career playoff games. Also, he has had 13-plus rebounds four times in his playoff career and three of those games have come against the Pistons. LeBron James With the Windmill Jam.
