Full highlights from LeBron James' Game One against Boston

LeBron James is on a mission to bring Cleveland a championship, and it starts with the Boston Celtics.

Today sparked the second day of the playoffs, and LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers got a 113-100 win against the Boston Celtics in the first game of their series.

While the score shows an easy win from the Cavaliers, it was actually a pretty tight contest for most of the game. Cleveland was simply the better team and was able to separate themselves from Boston.

James seems extremely determined to bring a championship to his hometown and today was the first step in making that happen. James wasn’t the player causing the most havoc today, but he still did his usual thing by putting up 20 points (44 percent shooting), seven assists and six rebounds.

The numbers don’t jump off the screen, but he looked really good on the court today and was doing all the right things. He was getting his teammates involved with amazing long passes while a double team was on him, and he was very fast and explosive in transition or when he attacked the rim. That’s the type of King James the Cavaliers will need all postseason long.

If there’s anything to dislike about James’ performance today, it’s that the two-time champion had to play 42 minutes (the most in the game). The Cavaliers are hoping to be playing for a long time, and they really shouldn’t have their go-to guy playing that many minutes in the opening game against a team with a losing record. It would be surprising to see James hit the 40-minute mark for the remainder of this series.

Game Two will be Tuesday at Cleveland.
