The Boston Celtics got themselves a blowout 120-95 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series on this past Tuesday (May 7) night to take a 1 – 0 series lead over the Cavs.
Backup Boston big man Luke Kornet played a significant role in the first half of the game, putting up, in 12 minutes of play, 8 rebounds, effectively defending the rim and limiting the Cavaliers’ options inside. The Cavaliers, known for shooting the fewest mid-rangers as a percentage of their shot attempts in the league, found themselves challenged by Kornet’s presence.
Is this series vs. the Cavs a perfect Luke Kornet matchup?
