The 2014-15 Boston Celtics are starting to turn the corner and the Cleveland Cavaliers got an entree of the new C's and a healthy bowl of Boston Clam Chowder before escaping with a 122-121 "W"! The Cavs though have this new toy and when things get discombobulated they can reach back and hit the theater seats and watch Nike Basketball's #1 Son of Akron go to work.

Deadlocked at 59-59 the Celts came out the 2nd half with the Bird, McHale, and the "Chief" Robert Double-Zero Parrish on that front line giving it to the Cavs at a 42-25 clip. That led them to a 101-84 lead after three. It was the "Olynyk Clinic and "Sully" combining for 21 of that 42 mixing in some And 1's with the money ball from the 'Bigs"!

The Cavs though have that new toy King James (31 pts through three frames) who orchestrated a comeback with Kyrie Irving accounting for 16 of the Cavs first 20 points in the 4th with three money balls to boot cutting the lead to 114-104. That's when King James took over scoring 10 of the Cavs last 18 points for a stunning comeback win 122-121.

The C's blazing in the 3rd outscoring the Cavs by 17 in the 3rd was outscored by 18 in the 4th. James with a game-high 41 points on 16 of 27 field goals. Kyrie added 27 points and 16 of that in the six minutes in the 4th. Kevin Love went 12 points and fifteen boards with Anderson Varejao chipping in with 16 points.

The C's gets a dozen from Evan Turner, Marcus "Machine Gun" Thornton, Avery Bradley, and Brandon Bass. They get a combined 40 points and sixteen boards from that talented 1-2 front line punch of Olynyk and Sullinger and 19 from Jeff Green and that was not enough. Rondo waiting tables ion the front of the house waited on 16 Celts tables.

Cavs move to 4-3 while the C's fall to 3-5...both teams shooting 50% plus and where was the "D"?
