Every day during the NBA playoffs, the Triple Threat will break down the latest action as we get closer to awarding the Larry O'Brien Trophy.Cleveland 88, Boston 77 This may shock you, but the home team won another playoff game, as the Celtics dropped to 0-5 on the road this postseason. LeBron James struggled again shooting, going 7-20 from the field, but made up it for 13 assists, 6 rebounds, and what immediately became the highlight of the playoffs when he dunked on Kevin Garnett. The slam brought the house down and gave Cleveland an almost insurmountable nine point lead. Speaking of Garnett, the unclutch talk will only grow louder after a 2 point, 1-5 shooting, posterized second half. Boston at a whole though couldn't get it done late, scoring just 12 points in the final period, which was for all intents and purposes the difference. The series is now tied at 2, and while one can easily say (and probably be right) the Celtics are fine as long as they have home court, it's still a tightrope to walk.

No video of the big dunk yet, so thanks to Odenized, we have LeBron's mother getting involved in the chippiness.
