The probable head-to-head matchup for the Eastern Conference Title will be the Cleveland Cavaliers verse the Boston Celtics.  They met up together on Friday night and the Celtics literally destroyed the Cavaliers in the paint.  The injury to Ben Wallace could even be more crucial than was initially thought, because the Cavaliers don’t have much interior defense to stop the big men in the center.  Boston got quite an easy victory with the final score ending at 105-94.

All the starters for Boston were in double figures except Rajon Rondo.  Paul Pierce led them in scoring putting up 29 points on 11 for 22 field goal shooting.  Leon Powe came up huge for the Celtics pounding the glass and contributing a total of 20 points on an impressive 9 for 11 shooting.  Boston improves their season long record to 49 wins and 14 losses.
