Game Summary
Biggest factor of Friday nights battle between the Cavs and Celtics was undoubtedly the performance of LeBron James and George Hill who had 20 big points. LeBron James. had just enough back up from his teammates this time, and his 46 points was more than enough to keep the Cavs season alive. The Celtics defense was horrendous in the second half, never being able to close the gap to make a serious run at winning the game. Furthermore the Cavs were able to persevere without the help of Allstar Kevin Love. Love left the game early with a head injury that put him in the concussion protocol and out for game 7.

Two words are all that is needed to sum up this crucial match up. Those two words were Splash Brothers. The Golden State sharpshooters were on point all night long and blew the Rockets off the court. Steph Curry scored 29 points and convincingly outplayed James Harden while his counter part Klay Thompson had 35 including 9 3’s.

Furthermore they were impressive defensively even without former Finals MVP Andre Iguodala.
