It is the anniversary of two playoff victories since the season of Boston’s last championship season in 2007-08 as well. The first was a 104-86 blowout of the Cleveland Cavaliers to even the series 1-1 that would spoil LeBron James’ MVP award presentation before the game.
Despite James leading all scorers with 24 points and 7 rebounds, the Cavs fell to the Celtics with Ray Allen putting up 22 points and 7 rebounds, and point guard Rajon Rondo 13 points and an absurd 19 assists.
