His team down by 27 points and a promising season suddenly in peril, LeBron James walked off the floor to a smattering of boos and rows of empty seats....

Cavs Crush Celtics, Retake Series Lead

LeBron James scored 21 of his 38 points in the first quarter to help the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Boston 124-95 on Friday night, handing the Celtics their worst home playoff loss ever and taking a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals.

Showing no ill-effects of an elbow problem that was the talk of Cleveland during the long layoff, James finished with eight rebounds and seven assists. The 21 points in a quarter was a franchise postseason record.

Rondo has 19 assists, Celtics tie series with Cavs

LeBron James better make sure his new MVP trophy isn't missing. The Boston Celtics stole everything else....

Senh: Sure, it was a team effort from Boston, but the difference maker was Rasheed Wallace, who finally showed a glimpse of his former all-star self. He was hitting 3's and posting up. This win's impressive. Lebron looks like his elbow's bothering him. He was tentative, and not very aggressive until it was too late. Let's see how the Cavs respond in Game 3. The commentators said that the two teams split the season series, each winning on the road, so home court advantage doesn't make a difference in this series. I'm rooting for Boston since I'm a Kevin Garnett fan.

James, Cavs shake off deficit to take Game 1

LeBron James scored 35 points and Mo Williams added 20 as the Cleveland Cavaliers stormed back in the second half to beat the Boston Celtics 101-93 on Saturday night

Senh: What a game. The Celtics had it, but Mo Williams got it going, and completely turned the game around. Shaq was also clutch at the end. KG seems a tad slower because of recent injuries. I thought it was funny how Lebron said his elbow loosened up after two quarters. Like Charles said on TNT, he probably had an injection to numb the pain during halftime. It's only one game, but with home court advantage, maybe this will be Lebron's year, and we'll finally get a Kobe vs. Lebron series.
