A Team Possessed

Last night the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 103 to 92. Don't let the score fool you however. At no point until the 3rd quarter was this game close. The Cavaliers were down by 25 points at halftime and 27 after three quarters. They came out flat for the second straight game but they did go on a 22-4 run and eventually pulled within 95-87 on a three-point play by LeBron James with 4:53 left. Tony Parker led all scorer with 30 points while Tim Duncan had 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists, nearly a triple double. LeBron shot better but not great, finishing with 25 points on 9 of 21 shooting. Now, it goes without saying that they needed to play at their 4th quarter intensity the entire game but why didn't they? Only the Cavs can answer that question. Game Three will be in Cleveland and if LeBron and the Cavs want to get back in this they need this game or they can kiss their title hopes goodbye.
