19-0

LeGame - It made me forget that the Browns exist.

LeHighlight - The Celtics unsuccessfully tried to close the gap by employing the infamous Hack-A-Ben strategy midway through the fourth quarter. So LeBron stopped just past halfcourt and tried to time a loooooong three pointer with one of five intentional fouls on Wallace, looking for a rare 4-point play. Of course, James made the 45-footer and of course, the refs said he mis-timed it, discounting the bucket. No matter. Wallace made 5-10 from the line during the stretch, while the Celtics went 1-5 from the field giving the Cavs a +3 advantage in the face of Hack-A-Ben. Wallace "intentionally" air-balled his last free throw, allowing JJ Hickson to enter the game and forcing the Celtics to raise the white flag.

LeCeltics Fans - A Celtics fan at the bar explained that he doesn't enjoy watching the NBA because refs don't call lane violations on free throws. He also said that he misses the good ol' days when pasty white guys in short shorts were allowed to hand-check each other on the perimeter. I much prefer LeBron James dunking from the free throw line.
