James, Cavs take Game 3
Lebron James provided another dominate performance as the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Detroit Pistons 79-68. James had a near triple double with 25 points 11 rebounds and 9 assists. The question coming into the playoffs for the Cavs was who would become that second scorer to help James provide some offense. Many believe it to be all-star guard Mo Williams who struggled in game 3 shooting 1-11 with 2 points. Cleveland instead benefited from reserve forward Joe Smith who added 19 points off the bench. Detroit only managed to shoot 38% and looked demoralized after each spectacular finish by James. Frustration seemed to set in to each player especially Richard Hamilton who led the Pistons in scoring with 15. Game 4 is Sunday April 26 as Detroit looks to avoid being swept and not reaching the conference finals for the first time in 6 seasons.
