After pondering the Cavs win over Miami Tuesday night, three plays stand out.
One was Lebron's drive and one-handed slam late. The one where he cut across the lane and threw it down, as he said, with force. Not as forceful as the one in the playoffs against Boston, mind you, but forceful enough.
The other play was Mo Williams taking the ball to the basket and giving the Cavs a one-point lead. He hit all the cliches — attacking the rim, and finishing with power.
The third play came on defense, when the Cavs poked the ball away from Miami and it seemed like every player on the team was diving or hustling for the ball. It almost seemed like they had eight players on the court. Impressive hustle and energy.
