Celtics Fall To Cleveland
The Cleveland Cavaliers handed the Celtics their worst loss of the season last night, 108-88 at TD Garden. LeBron James scored a game high 36 points for the Cavs, and added 7 rebounds and 9 assists and the green got outscored 35-14 in the 4th quarter. Ray Allen had 21 points and Rajon Rondo 19 for the green, and they'll play New Jersey tomorrow afternoon at the Garden.
The Celtics were without Paul Pierce, who sat out with his sore thumb and the flu. The Cavaliers lost Shaquille O'Neal mid-way through the second quarter last night with what has been called a significant thumb sprain of his own, and he is out for at least one game.
