2008 NBA Playoffs R1G3: 66 Points Turnaround!

The Cavaliers won the Game 2 of the series by a 30-point margin, which marked a new franchise playoff record. Yesterday they did set another team postseason mark by losing by 36. Thirty-six points is absolutely embarrassing, but a loss is a loss, and the Cavs need to focus on winning the key Game 4 on Sunday. The victory took the Wizards off the ropes by cutting Cleveland’s lead to 2-1 in the first-round series. Washington will also host Game 4 on Sunday, when coach Eddie Jordan’s players will have the confidence of knowing they aren’t destined to be forever hexed by James and Co. Cleveland had won eight straight playoff games against the Wizards, including a first-round sweep a year ago. The Cavs looked great in Games 1 and 2. Let’s see if playoff Cavs and playoff LeBron come out looking for vengeance. On a side note… LeBron James was wearing the White, Navy and Red Zoom Soldier II, which is the recently released GR version and an obvious match with team’s alternate away jerseys. See the photos after the jump.
