NBA Playoffs Second Round Day 6

(3) Charlotte at (2) Cleveland

Game 3 - Series Tied 1-1

CHA:CLE
91:91 OVR
85:94 OFF
94:93 DEF

First Quarter

Cleveland 21
Charlotte 18

I have two Lebron replays saved here, for the first time I've seen him pull a few moves that I've never seen in game before. Lebron has 10 points/3 boards/2 assists. Garrison 4, Gordon 4, Telfair 3 off the bench and that's it for Cleveland. I have 6 from Mayo, 4 from Swanson, and 2 from a few others.

Mayo and Felton both have 2 fouls. Cleveland led 19-12 at one point before we got a couple easy baskets.

Second Quarter

Charlotte 55
Cleveland 52

Totally opposite of the first quarter, we score 37, Cleveland 31 in an insane, fast paced high scoring quarter. Jacob Swanson plays most of the quarter, giving Mayo a rest early and Felton late. He catches fire, hitting a 3 in transition on the first play of the quarter and he's just on a roll form there. He's now 8-11, scoring our last 8 points in a row, he now has 21 to lead all scorers. Mayo 11, Padgett 8, Felton 6, Henderson 5. Lebron is the player of the quarter, 16 points/4 boards/6 assists. Gordon 10, Garrison 8, Mo Williams 5.

Both teams are shooting nearly 60%, just no defense.

Third Quarter

Charlotte 81
Cleveland 71

With 4 1/2 minutes to go in the 3rd its a close, back and forth quarter, with Cleveland leadin 67-65. Over the next 3 1/2 minutes we score 14 straight, scoring pretty much every time we touch the ball and watching Cleveland turn it over a few times, miss wide open shots, even a missed dunk that we wren't contesting at all. Lebron hits a free throw and Gordon a trey in the final minute to make it a 10 point game.

Swanson doesn't score this quarter so he's still got 21. Padgett has 18, Mayo 17, Padgett was hot for a decent part of the quarter. Felton 10, no one else more than 5. Lebron only scores 3 in the 3rd, he's got 19 points now. Gordon 15, Williams 14.

Fourth Quarter

9:00 to go - Padgett and Sparks have all of our points inside so far. Its 87-75. Mayo and Lebron both sat the first couple minutes, but both are in now.

6:00 to go - We've led by as much as 13 but right now its 9, 90-81, Mayo scored on a 3 point play for our only points of the last 3 minutes.

4:25 to go - 92-85, this is the closest its been.

3:30 to go - 94-85, Felton with a charge, Mo Williams misses a jumper, we get one from Mayo on our end, i thought it was a 3 but nope, on the line.

2:15 to go - 96-87, Cleveland had cut it to 7 and had a chance to cut it to 5, but Padgett blocks a shot by Lebron, Chandler blocks a second attempt by Gordon, we recover and get Padgett a bucket in the post to push it back up to 9, that seems like a very key possession.

1:30 to go - 96-91, now its down to 5 as Lebron drives and dishes to Williams for an easy layin. We get a timeout and get all our starters in(we had 4 starters + Chandler the last few minutes, Sparks is back in).

1:12 to go - 98-91, we get it to Padgett who works for a good shot in the post.

0:40 to go - 98-93 now, a couple emptry trips before a Cleveland jumper.

0:20 to go - 100-93, that should do it, Sparks hits a shot inside.

Cleveland hits a meaningless 3 at the buzzer to make it look a little closer than it was in the final minutes.

Charlotte 101
Cleveland 98

Padgett: 26 points/3 boards
Mayo: 22 points/4 boards/2 steals
Swanson: 21 points
Felton: 11 points/7 assists
Sparks: 8 points/9 boards
Henderson: 5 points
Fisher: 4 points/5 boards
Wallace: 2 points
Chandler: 2 points

Lebron again plays his best early, his numbers are very good, 23 points/7 boards/10 assists, 6 points/4 assists in the 4th quarter. Eric Gordon scores 20, Mo Williams 14 with 8 assists.

We use a huge run in the 3rd quarter to open up a 10 point lead and are able to hold on to that the rest of the way.

2-1 Charlotte!
