The first round has officially closed as a couple of second round matchups already got under way over the weekend. Repeat league MVP LeBron James overcame a sore elbow to lead the Cavs to a Game 1 win over the Boston Celtics while filling up the stat sheet with 35 pts, 7 boards, and 7 dimes. Reigning Finals MVP Kobe Bryant dominated Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz throughout Game 1 scoring 31 points on 12 of 19 shooting, a blistering 63%. The Magic finally know who they will face next after the Atlanta Hawks put away a valiant Bucks squad with a game-high 22 points from Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford. The San Antonio Spurs also moved on by forcing Dirk Nowitzki’s Dallas Mavericks to become the first second seed in NBA history to lose in the first round. The Spurs will now dance with Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns, which should be a classic battle once again. We crawl closer and closer the NBA Finals so enjoy our continuing coverage!
