Cleveland Cavaliers 97, Washington Wizards 90
In the end the Cavaliers were just too big for the injury depleted Wizards to handle. The Cavs outrebounded the Wizards 46-35 and they outscored the Wizards 31-23 in the 4th quarter and that’s why they won last night. LeBron James led the way for the Cavs with 31 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals on 8 of 22 shooting from the floor. Zydrunas Ilgauskas was awesome around the basket with 20 points, 19 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. Larry Hughes scored 18 points in the final 6 1/2 minutes of the game to give his old team the dagger in this series. He finished with 19 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Drew Gooden also had a solid game on offense with 14 points and 8 rebounds. The Cavs swept the Wizards 4-0 and their Magic Number now sits at 12!

Oh goodie… you beat up on a team full of bums. Heck, with that lineup, the Wizards are one of the worst teams in the league. This team is not championship material. Quit deceiving yourself.
You’re right about the Wizards. But a sweep is a sweep. The Raptors or Nets will be tougher, but a speed bump nonetheless. It will be the Cavs against either the Pistons or Bulls for the Eastern Conference Finals and I feel confident against either one.
