Some Lebron and a lil’ bit of Jazz

April 21st, 2010 by Ty

Watching the games tonight, it was really a night of Lebron James highlights and a surprise in the mile high city!

The Cavs were held to a very close game by the resilient bulls who kept the game tied at 77 after 3 quarters; led by the trio of Deng, Rose and Noah. But the 4th quarter was a story of one Lebron James and a shocking 3 point shooting display by ……..wait for it…….. Jamario Moon! Yes you are reading it correctly, Moon made 4 of 5 bigtime 3 pointers for 12 big points which was enough to help Lebron and the Cavs take this game from the Bulls. I have to give some love to Lebron, who i love to hate, he scored 40pts in this game while hitting some big shots, with a combination of drives, jumpers and late shot clock threes in the 4th quarter. He also delivered the highlight of the night with a poster over the rook james Johnson. Game 2 goes to the Cavs 112 – 102 Bulls.

I had written off the Jazz after the injury to Okur in game 1, as i’m sure a lot of you had. But this team behind coach Sloan, the longest tenured coach in pro-sports, has never been known as a team that rolls over. Once again this team came to play with grit, desire and even with a make-shift starting line-up they were able to execute especially in the first half and they were up 11 at the half. They were able to hold on for the win with strong performances by D. Will and Boozer who finished with 33pts/14asts and 20pts/15rbds.   The Nuggets were’nt able to catch the Jazz behind Melo’s 32pts and their 6th man, J.R smith was held to only 9pts on 3/10 shooting. The Jazz bench actually outscored the Nuggets bench 33- 20. Jazz even out the series  with this win. Nuggets 111 – 114 Jazz.
