In NBA action, the Cleveland Cavaliers have made it to the finals for the first time in their 36-year history. The result came as they claimed a convincing home victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday to win their series 4-2.
LeBron James was fully prepared for a home win as he shifted attention to assisting teammates in the first quarter. Five assists conducted by the guard helped the Cavs lead 27-21.
Because James often found himself besieged by Piston players, the nine points he made in the first half all came from foul shots, and the score was 48-all.
Nevertheless, James still tried to live up to his reputation. His teammates also performed well. Rookie Daniel Gibson had 19 of his career-high 31 points in the final quarter.
The Cavs won the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series by 4-2. They will head to San Antonio to take on the Spurs in Game One of the finals on Thursday.
