The Celtics are up 1-0 in their best of 7 series against Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics blew out the Cavs 108-83 in game 1 of the Conference Finals in a game that saw the Celtics put the game away in the very first quarter via a 36 to 18 scoring edge. The Celtics made a change to their starting lineup as Brad Stevens opted to remove Aron Baynes in exchange for Marcus Morris. A change that turned out to be crucial as Marcus Morris had his best performance of the playoffs scoring 21 points in 34 minutes on 7/12 shooting 3/4 from downtown. He along with Horford and Brown all scored over 20 points as Brown had 23 and Horford had 20. Jayson Tatum scored 16 while Terry Rozier added only 8 and Marcus Smart added only 9. Morris was added into the starting lineup not only in hopes he get his scoring going but to get another body on the floor to stop Cavs Superstar Lebron James and the Celtics went the route of using multiple guys to guard Lebron but defending him one on one and only sending double teams when Lebron was not looking and using it to deflect his passes or steal it. Otherwise it was let Lebron shoot and get what he wants while stopping the Cavs 3 point shooters. The Celtics held Lebron to 15 points on the night on 5/16 shooting. Kevin Love was the Cavs high scorer wth 17 points. The Cavs 3 point shooters in JR Smith, George Hill and Kyle Korver were held to a combined 14 points on a combined 6/19 shooting in a combined 79 minutes of action for those 3. The battle of the benches was the only thing the Celtics did not win as the Cavs bench won 35-20 in this game but due to the Celtics starters crushing the Cavs starters it didnt matter.
