The NBA’s defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers continued their march through the Eastern Conference Playoffs last night with a 130-86 Game 2 drubbing of the Boston Celtics inside TD Garden.
As most fans of the team know, the Cavs have swept their way through 13 consecutive postseason games, tying a record with the 1988-89 Los Angeles Lakers. At one point in Game 2, the Cavs led by as many as 50 points. Shortly after halftime, JR Smith decided to bust out his broom in front of the Beantown faithful, particularly one heckling fan:

“Swish,” as Smith is known by his fans and followers, turned in nine points (4-of-5 field, 1-1 downtown) and seven rebounds in 26 minutes of action in Game 2.
With the series heading back to Cleveland for Games 3 and 4, the No. 1 seeded Celtics will have their work cut out for them. Will the Cavs sweep Boston as they did the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors? Only time will tell.
Game 3 is set to tip at 8:30 p.m. EST on Sunday.
