Lebron and Cavs wrap up win at home, trail in series 2-1

Last night at Quicken Loans Arena it was the Lebron James' show. He took over late and sealed the 88-82 victory for the Cavaliers. It was a tight game the entire 48 minutes of regulation. Cleveland was fortunate to pull out this gut-buster and not be down 3-0 against Detroit. Lebron's teammates made several nice plays on both ends of the court. Rookie guard, Daniel Gibson came up with key defensive stops and interfered with the Pistons' offensive game plans.

Finishing big with 32 points, Lebron was only a rebound and assist away from capturing a triple-double. His slashing drives to the basket combined with his lighting first step were too powerful for Detroit. They couldn't shut down his maneuvers to the hoop so they had no choice but to foul him. The superstar forward played 46 minutes and kept his team in the game from the first half. Big Z and Sasha Pavlovic completed solid secondary performances, combining for 29 points. Ilgauskas snagged 9 boards adding a blocked shot.

It's clear the Cavs have to play aggressive in Game 4 and be relentless on D. Lebron voiced every intention of being the team leader and go-to-guy down the stretch to keep his team alive. Forward Drew Gooden and Donyell Marshall need to get their act together. One has trouble going strong at the basket and the other shoots way too threes! I expect the deficiencies in their games to change soon. Otherwise their playing time will be cut down further. I feel Cleveland can win the next 2 games. They've definitely got the energy and support from the home crowd and that always plays a big factor. Lebron do what you do best....gooooo Cavs!
