The Big Three Reunite

After sitting out the rest of the season and the playoffs, Garnett is back, and with a vengeance. As the Premier Week takes off, the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers went head to head reuniting the Big Three and debuting Lebron James and Shaquille O’Neal.



As the game tipped off, Cleveland broke out to a 13-2 lead, went up 19-5 on a jumper by O'Neal and led 28-21 after one. It looked as if the Cavs' was ready for action when James flew down court to rejected Rondo dunk attempt. But to no avail, the Cavs’ let the Celtics heat up and as Lebron rested, the Celtics did what they do best, prepare for a come from behind victory. Ray Allen made two 3-pointers and scored 11 points in the second quarter and the Celtics made seven 3s to close the first half with a 51-45 lead.

After halftime, the Cavs’ began to pick up the pace as James began to open up pulling them within six points. With the Cavs’ Home winning streak on the line and the Celtics tasting victory on the tip of their tongue, the two teams pushed a little harder as they began to fight for second, third, and fourth chance shot. Soon after, the Celtics Vice President began to yell to the players on the court “foul Shaq” in order to maintain their lead, and that they did. With a final score of 95-89, the Cavs’ was not able to bounce back and the Celtics opened up their season with a victory.
