LeBron James wrecks Celtics with 30 points in Cavaliers' blowout
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James crushed the Boston Celtics during a blowout 130-86 win on Friday, scoring 30 points with four rebounds, seven assists, four steals, three blocks and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes.
The Cavs set the NBA playoffs record with a 41-point lead at halftime, and they have also won 13 straight playoff games to tie the 1988-89 Los Angeles Lakers for the NBA record. LeBron is doing whatever he wants on offense and Celtics coach Brad Stevens may have to be more aggressive in defending him with double teams.
James created a ridiculous 69.85 nERD on the night, the most of any player in the game, per numberFire Live.
