Energetic Cavaliers Top Celtics
Tristan Thompson's 15 points and 14 rebounds for the Cleveland Cavaliers sparked energy for them all game long including a thunderous dunk in the second-quarter over Tyler Zeller. Cleveland defeated Boston 128 to 122. They are to a 5-0 start on the season.
Lebron James had another double-double with 30 points and 12 assists. He was 3 rebounds shy of a triple-double. Him and Kyrie Irving did a tremendous job all game long leading the team in transition. Kyrie Irving had 23 points.
Despite the Celtics not having Al Horford and Jae Crowder, they played pretty well. Rookie Jaylen Brown made his first NBA start last night scoring 19 points and had 5 rebounds. He didn't look intimidated at all. He is going to become a star as the season progresses.
Avery Bradley had 26 points and 10 rebounds for the Celtics. The Cavs lead 100 to 83 after three-quarters, but the Celtics made in an interesting game, but Cleveland would just be too much for them. These teams will play each other 3 more times this season.
