0:00.0	Now, let's get to the NBA where the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers met the Boston Celtics last night.
0:09.0	And oh look now, but the Lakers are just a half game out of the top spot in the Western Conference.
0:15.0	Joining me now to break down the latest headlines around the league is my colleague at ESPN, senior NBA reporter and writer for ESPN.
