NBA Playoff Triple Threat: Home Streak Broken (Partially)
Published 5/17/2008 at FanIQ Blog
... Cleveland 74, Boston 69 Home court prevails after an ugly game. Only once, the Cavs in the second quarter, did a team score in the 20s in a quarter.

It was that second quarter, fueled by a 17-2 run and a Delonte West buzzer-beater, that gave Cleveland they lead they needed. The Cavs won despite shooting 32.9% from the field, but took 25 foul shots to Boston's 13, a figure Doc Rivers wasn't too happy with. As we'll see later, that wasn't the only thing Rivers was ...
