On April 17, the NBA playoffs started with the Cleveland Cavaliers playing against the Detroit Pistons. In the first game it was a nail-biter for the Cavs. They only won 106-101. I thought that the Cavs would blow them out, but the Pistons put up a good fight ant stayed with them. Kyre Irving led all scorers in the game with 31 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds. LeBron James also had 22 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds. Kevin Love contributed a lot for the Cavs with 28 points and 11 rebounds. In the second game, the Cavs beat the Pistons again, but blew up them out this time. The final score of the game was 107-90. LeBron James led all scorers in the game with 27 points. Kyrie Irving and J.R. Smith contributed a lot to the Cavs with 43 points combined. This series is looking like it is going to be a blowout.
On April 22, the Cavs played the Pistons in the third game of a best-of-seven game series. In this game, the Cavs beat the Pistons 101-91. Kyrie Irving of the Cavs led all scorers again with 26 points and 4 assists. LeBron James and Kevin Love both contributed with 20 points each and 25 rebound combined. The series was now 3-0 in favor of the Cavs and the Cavs were looking to get a four-game sweep heading into game 4 on April 24. In game 4, it was another nail-biter. The Pistons kept on fighting throughout the whole entire game, not letting up a big lead. With 43 second left in the game, Kyrie Irving makes a clutch three pointer to put them up by 4. Ten second later, Reggie Jackson (Pistons) made a dunk making the game a one-possession game. 11 seconds left and the Pistons get a rebound, they have no timeouts and started to run down the court. The Cavs were running to get back on defense, with 1 second left Reggie Jackson shoots a three pointer... and misses! The Cavs sweep the Detroit Piston and are heading to the second round of the playoffs. The final score of the game was 100-98.
