2 is better than 3!

As soon as the game started, the two sides played wildly, with back and forth.

Boozer has maintained a good state. He broke out in the last game and also showed confidence. Facing Lewis, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, Boozer can play no matter what he does, dominating the basket.

Not only scored 11 points and 4 rebounds in a single offensive quarter, but also made great efforts on defense, defending against Lewis' 5-for-1 and only scoring 2 points.

In the third quarter alone, the Cavaliers got 11 free throw opportunities, while the Sonics drifted outside to shoot and didn't get a single free throw.

Taking advantage of the advantage of crushing the inside line, the Cavaliers completed the overtake, temporarily 71 to 70, and in turn led the Supersonics by 1 point, entering the final decisive battle.

The fourth quarter of the game started, and the impact of the Sonics' away game appeared, and their physical strength declined significantly. They used shooting as their weapon to win, and their shooting percentage began to plummet.

Among them, the core player of the team, Ray Allen, missed his shot and shattered his glasses.

bah bah bah...

It rained non-stop, 9 of 1 shots, and only scored a poor 2 points, which made the Sonics' offensive firepower a lot.

The initiative to win the game was handed over, and the Cavaliers naturally accepted the gift with a smile. Among them, Boozer played the demeanor of a superstar and scored 10 points in a single quarter. Seeing the hope of reversing and winning.

At the end of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers, with a 99-94, 5-point advantage, defeated the Seattle SuperSonics who came to challenge and won a wave of five consecutive victories.

Boozer was in a hot state, making 20 of 9 shots, 15 of 14 free throws, blasting 32 points and 20 rebounds, and his large double-double data proved his strong strength.

The supersonic double star shines Ray Allen scored 20 points, Lewis scored 27 points, but his teammates did not perform well. Can be slashed to the ground and swallow the bitter fruit of failure!
