Delonte West showed up, and showed up big. Scoring 21 points and sharing the role of game’s leading scorer with LeBron, West earned himself some big time respect on national television.
For those who have been fans of Delonte for a while now, this is the kind of performance we love to watch. Aside from a few errant passes, West showed gritty determination and excellent shooting skills as the Cavaliers defended their home court in front of millions watching at home.
West’s stat line was impressive — 21 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds with 7 for 11 shooting including 4 of 6 for three. With the win tonight, Cleveland scores their first win of the series and has some confidence to build from. Monday night, Boston will once again try for their first road win of the playoffs which will be difficult given their lackluster performance tonight.
In the end, Cavs fans are smiling with an easy win at home by the final of 108-84.
