Celtics Rolling at the Garden

BOSTON - The Celtics' defense is strangling the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Celtics are now up big in the third quarter, 56-38, and really bothering the Cavs with their defense. Boston trailed 24-17 after the first quarter but dominated the next 12 minutes by blitzing the Cavs, 27-12. Cleveland shot 2-for-17 in the quarter.
Boston's bench did much of the first half damage with Leon Powe and Sam Cassell scoring 9 points apiece. LeBron James is struggling again. Big Time. The NBA's leading scorer had 11 points at the half but was 3-of-13 from the field with three turnovers. He simply cannot hit an open jump shot.
The Cavs' Ben Wallace left the game after only 3:40 with a case of dizzyness. He has not returned.
Update: 3 minutes left in the third quarter: Boston is up, 63-46.
