Cleveland Cavaliers Move to Second Round With a Sweep

The Cavaliers became the third team in NBA history – along with the 1980 Celtics and 2004 Pacers to sweep a team by winning each game by double-digits.  LeBron James and  Mo Williams were on fire for game 4 against  the Pistons getting a combined 33 points in the first half of the game.  For LeBron, he ended with a total of 36 points, 13 boards, and 8 assists in that final game against Detroit on Sunday.  Mo Williams had a playoff high game with 24 points, 16 of them cam in the first half, and he also had 4 assists and a pair of steals to go along with them. 

This sweep is going to be a great thing for the Cavaliers, as they could get a full week or more to rest their pains while they watch and wait to see who they will be facing in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.  On a good note Cleveland, under Mike Brown, are now 16-4 in the first round of the postseason and they is something to be very proud of.  They will have a difficult task in front of them but for right now they seem to be the team to beat. 

“I think (the killer instinct) has grown with the success we’ve had in the playoffs and the maturity level that we have,” said LeBron. “And it’s continuing to grow. We have that killer instinct. We have it at this point.” 

“I think our fans came from all parts of Ohio to Michigan to give us their support,” beamed LeBron. “It was great. I respect our fans for that. Even though tonight was a road game they made it feel as if we had a home crowd here. They were amazing.”
