Cleveland 76 - San Antonio 85 (FINAL)Game 1 is in the books from San Antonio and I must say that there has not been much to cheer about from the side that is making their inaugural trip to the finals. LeBron James was held to only free throws as points in the first half, and despite going on a run where he made two 3-point baskets in a row, only managed to finish the game with 14 points.
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs take step 1 towards adding a fourth title in nine years to their marvelous run. They proved why they are the better team. Living here in San Antonio, but not being a Spurs fan, it is difficult to always see this team succeed, but then again, with this being a one-team city, if they did not succeed, few in this city would care about them. Where the team goes, the city goes. The city has been high on this team since the end of the Phoenix series; since they were tagged as 'the bad guys.' Fans are saying 'Spurs in five,' 'Spurs in six,' or even 'Cavs don't even play on the same court as the Spurs, brooms baby!!! SWEEP!!!'It is going to be a tough task for the Cavaliers to win a game in San Antonio, much less win this series. LeBron James is going to have to step up his game along with the rest of his teammates. I do think that this game 1 was a good step for their team to see what it takes to play against a championship-winning-calibur team like San Antonio to then make the adjustments necessary to come back on Sunday night and have a better showing.
