Returning to the scene of the crime is usually is not advised but the Cleveland Cavs confidence must be through the roof knowing that if they can put on a similar show 2 games in a row that it might spell disaster for the Hornets championship ambitions. Eric Gordon came out firing in tonights game just in case there was a doubt about his skill and confidence.

Gordon torched the Cavs defenders to the tune of 35pts and Anthony Davis chipped in with 18pts and 6 boards but without Andrew Bynums production from the pivot the Hornets don't have that same sting that led them to the best record in the western conference during the regular season and 1st 2 rounds of the playoffs.

Clevelands offensive attack at this point of the season is best described as "POTENT!" Seven players in double figures in a road playoff game is virtually unheard of, but when you realize that this is the NBA Finals...it's an even more impressive feat. Watching Cleveland running and gunning you would think their defense would be a weakness...nope, they rotated well, clogged passing lanes and played great positional defense. Rookie big man Dre Redd had his best playoff performance of his short career (17pts 14reb 4ast st blk). Sharpshooter Okan Mansiz lit up the 3 point line like the fourt of July scoring 14pts in only 11 mins off the bench. Stephen Braithwaite's range is really killing the Hornets defense schemes as he's dragging arguably the leagues best shot blocker out to an area where he's noticeably uncomfortable. But the piece that makes this all possible is the man they call Durantula!! No look is a bad look when you shooting the ball like he is and his total game is shining just as bright as his shooting numbers. Just barely missing a triple double (29pts, 9reb, 8ast) KD is cementing his legacy in Cleveland as maybe the best Cav ever!! Even surpassing dare I say it Lebron James!! 2 more wins and the city will embrace him like LB23 never has!!
