Game Review:

The revenge of the fallen. Cavaliers have bounced back from a mediocre performance than game 3 where they thumped the Bulls with a 23 point victory. The whole Sunday afternoon show was completely dominated by The Chosen One Lebron James . Lebron registered his 5th career playoff Triple Double. The Cavaliers who looked as if they lost focus and the playoff intensity on the road brought back their defensive intensity and the trade mark offensive plays, and the bulls had no answer. Cavs go up 3-1 in the first round of playoffs.

Chicago Bulls started in the right direction and were just trailing by 3 at the end of first quarter. Derrick Rose who is having another great playoff run this year had an average shooting game with 9-20 FG for 21 points. Joakim Noah has a 3rd straight double double outing and his playoff best scoring 21 points and 20 rebounds. In spite of good performances from their front court and Rose the bulls had no answer to the defensive plays Mike Brown was drawing against the struggling offense. Until mid second quarter Rose and Deng were the only offensive scoring weapons who had a 7-16 shooting with rest of the team going 1-14 until Noah and Hinrich picked up the slack.

Lebron James had to leave the game for a short duration with a light elbow strain but he said because of the pain he would drive and score rather than shoot the ball. But however his pain was a no impact on his scoring, rebounding and assists. Antawn Jamison who had a tremendous outing scored 24 points and 7 rebounds. Cavs sealed the game with a stunning 3 point shooting performance with 48% behind the arc and 54% with overall shooting.

Before the game Lebron openly suggested that JJ Hickson should get more minutes who was a starter during the regular season. JJ chipped in and got a high percentage of minutes in today's game with 17 and scored 10points with 3-4FG shooting and going 4-4 from the stripe.

This outstanding performance from the Cavs now shifts the scene back to home turf where they are the best team in the league defending home court. Bulls have to work extremly hard to squeeze a win and survive the series. But when you have the best player on the planet LBJ on the Cavs side it is tough for any opponent to get a W.
