Kyrie Irving

The Cavaliers win 99-91. James scores 30 points, Irving scores 26 points and Mozgov scores 16 points. Thomas scores 22 points for the Celtics. Cleveland leads the East First Round Series 2-0. James:

I’ve been in this moment before, and a lot of our guys haven’t. I thought it was important for me to put a stamp on this game.

Coach Stevens on Celtics loss:

We made those guys earn everything they got. And that’s a step in the right direction. We were in a three-possession game and we shot 38 percent.

Irving:

It wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t pretty. But we got it done.
