Going away after 2 home wins, the Cleveland Cavaliers dropped game 3 and now they lead the series 2-1. After winning 10 straight games, 4 in the regular season and 6 in the NBA Playoffs, Cavs winning streak came to an end. The New Jersey Nets were able to limit Cleveland’s rebounding advantage. LeBron James failed to score at least 20 points for the first time in his 20 playoff games. James’ streak of 20-point games to start a playoff career is second-longest in history behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 27 in a row.
