Summary:
The two top teams in the East face off in what could be a preview of the conference finals. Cleveland is (8-2) in their last ten games while Boston is (5-5). Cleveland will be without their all-star power forward Kevin Love who is out with a knee injury. The addition of Deron Williams gives the Cavaliers a much needed playmaker to boost their bench unit. Cleveland has won four of their last five head to head games with Boston. In nine February games Lebron James is averaging 26.1 points, 11.1 assists, and 6.9 rebounds while shooting 63% from the field and 57% from three. The Cavaliers are rolling right now and surely want to send a statement that they are the class of the Eastern conference.
