Game 5 many thought this will be the coming out party for Lebron James. James has struggled the first 4 games of this series shooting under 30% but still the Cavs were tied at 2-2 going into game 5. James last season defeated the Pistons in game 5 with and unbeliveable performance. In game 5 the stage was set for the same type of game heck even Jay Z and Beyonce came to see the show. Will James deliver the answer is NO.

The Boston Celitcs coming into game 5 had to once again defend there home court, since that’s the only way they’ve been able to win in the post season is on there home court. The Celtics are 0-5 on the road in the playoffs. No NBA team has ever won a championship being 0-5 on the road in the playoffs. The key for the Celtics was to contain Lebron James and keep him from not taking over the game. James in the 1st half scored 23 points but for the entire game had 35. James from three point land was 0-5 as for a team the Cavs were 3-16. James had this to say about last nights game.”We know it’s a win-or-go-home situation. We’ve got to approach it that way,” said LeBron James, who scored 23 of his 35 points in the first 20 minutes and then went cold again. “We’re a very good team at home. But a LeBron James team is never desperate.” As for the Celtics the new big three stepped up. Pierce 29, Garnett 26 and the new third one is Rajon Rondo 20 points and 13 assist. “This momentum, and what we did here tonight,” Garnett said, “we’ve got to figure a way to carry this on the road.”"We’re going to get one. I don’t know when,” coach Doc Rivers said. “It would be great if it’s Game 6.” The Celtics can close out the Cavs in Cleveland on Friday night.
