LeBron James and his new look Cleveland Cavaliers were in Boston to take on the Celtics Sunday afternoon. It’s a game that included the home team retiring Paul Pierce’s jersey in front of all-time franchise greats and one specific former head coach. It also pitted LeBron against his former teammate, Kyrie Irving.
As much as it might have been a festive environment early for the home team, LeBron absolutely laid the smack down on Boston. In the end, Cleveland came out on top by the score of 121-99 with LeBron dropping 24 points to go with eight rebounds and 10 assists in a masterful performance.
Needless to say, the Twitter had some pretty awesome reactions to James raining on Pierce’s parade. Here are some of the best examples.
