So, things seem to be going fairly well tonight for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They’re currently in the process of wiping the floor with the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, leading 66-44 at the break. Safe to say Kevin Love’s playoff record will be 13-0 by the end of the night.
Kyrie Irving led all scorers through the first 24 minutes with 18 points on tidy 8-for-11 shooting from the floor. Irving, Love and LeBron James combined to score 42 points in the first half as the Cavs shot 66.7% as a team. They seem pretty good, you guys.
Two of Kyrie’s 18 came on this layup following a slick behind-the-back dribble that had Cory Joseph shook (via @TheCauldron):
Too easy. And Joseph is a good defender!
