The Cavaliers got off to a slow start in Sunday's Game 1, with Boston outscoring them 31-27 in the first quarter. A few minutes into the second quarter, though, Cleveland got hot and never looked back en route to a 113-100 victory. Kyrie Irving led with 30 points, LeBron James added 20 points and Kevin Love chipped in with 19 points and 12 rebounds.
"We are the Big 3," Irving said after his first playoff game, according to ESPN. "We have really great players on this team, but we set the tone."
The game was also important for Love, another playoff rookie.
"It's very important that Kev stays involved," James said. "For our ultimate goal, Kevin has to be in the rhythm or at least touching the ball and feel like he's a part of what we're doing, which he is.
"Even with Kev's shot not falling early, I felt like just the rhythm he was in, the aggressive mode he was in will pay off for us later."
Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas, one of six Celtics players to score in the double figures, led the team with 22 points and 10 assists. One of the biggest issues for Boston in Game 1 was rebounding, with the Cavaliers outrebounding them 46-34.
