Cleveland Cavaliers 73, Boston Celtics 89: Don’t let this score fool you. The Cavs jumped out to a 21-11 lead, and never did anything after that. At one point, the lead for the Celtics was as high as 26 points, and there was no one holding their breath in this one.

And one thing that has to be going through every Cavs fan’s head right now: What in the hell is going on with LeBron James? I’ve always been “that guy” who’s said he’s a bit overrated — I’m not saying he’s not great; that said, I don’t think he’s the second coming of Michael Jordan — and even I’m perplexed right now with what’s going on. LeBron did play better than his first game, but that’s like getting drunk, hooking up with a girl that’s a three, then bragging that you bagged one the next night that’s a five. He scored 21 points, a dramatic increase from Game 1, but was only 6-24 from the field, couldn’t hit a three to save his life, and had more turnovers than he had field goals. Boston used an all-around arsenal to kill the Cavs, who are now down 0-2 and look like the Atlanta team before them — incapable of making this thing even close on the road.

New Orleans Hornets 99, San Antonio Spurs 110: Something tells me you’re going to see a lot of home winning in this one, which doesn’t bode well for the Spurs, given they have less home games. Chris Paul had 35 points and 9 assists in the losing effort. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli showed that you don’t have to be American to win this game, going for 31 a piece, also combining for 17 assists. Tim Duncan had 16 points and 13 rebounds, helping the Spurs make this thing competitive again. The next game will be Sunday, giving the two teams three days of rest before they tangle again.
