Cavaliers Dominate Celtics and Do a Little Dance!!


LeBron James made five 3-pointers and scored 29 points before swaying to the music in his seat, and the Cavaliers throttled the defending NBA champions 107-76 on Sunday to move within one win of matching the 1985-86 Celtics for the best home record in league history. At 39-1, the Cavs can tie Boston's hallowed mark against Philadelphia on Wednesday night. But equaling those Celtics of Bird, McHale and Parrish won't mean anything if the Cavs, who have already clinched the Eastern Conference's No. 1 playoff seed, can't dethrone the current guys in green sometime this spring. Flexing their defensive muscles, the Cavs led 31-9 after the first quarter, opened a 30-point lead in the second and turned a possible playoff preview into a rout. It was Cleveland's most lopsided win ever in 173 games against the Celtics. Boston has lost its last eight regular-season games in Cleveland, the Celtics' longest current road losing streak against any opponent. Cleveland led after one quarter 31-9, the last time the Cavs held a team to 9 points or fewer in a quarter was in 1999.
