The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics kicked off the 2017-18 NBA season with a thrilling opener on Tuesday night. The Cavaliers emerged victorious with a 102-99 win, thanks in large part to LeBron James' 30 points.
James was his usual dominant self, adding 13 assists and 9 rebounds to his scoring total. Kevin Love also had a strong game for the Cavaliers, finishing with 21 points and 12 rebounds. The Celtics were led by Kyrie Irving's 22 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Cavaliers' balanced attack.
The game was close throughout, with neither team leading by more than seven points at any point. The Cavaliers took a 50-46 lead into halftime, but the Celtics came out strong in the third quarter and briefly took the lead. However, the Cavaliers regained control in the fourth quarter and held on for the win.
The win is a good start for the Cavaliers, who are looking to bounce back from their disappointing loss in the NBA Finals last season. The Celtics, on the other hand, will need to regroup after a tough opening night loss.
