Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch.

in the 31st.BOSTON -- In the heyday of the New Big Three, when the
Boston Celtics were winning the 2008 NBA title and going back to the
finals two years later, there arose in the TD Garden a new tradition:
Gino Time.
When the Celtics were winning and the game was in hand by the final TV
timeout, the arena would play a disco-era video of a shaggy man in a
tight T-shirt that said "Gino." Players on the bench and fans in the
stands would swivel their hips along with him to celebrate as the final
seconds ticked off the clock.
There hadnt been much Gino Time in Boston this season, now that
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are in Brooklyn and Doc Rivers is in Los
Angeles.
Until the Cleveland Cavaliers came to town.
"Nobodys told me about that," first-year coach Brad Stevens said after
the Celtics scored 18 of the games first 20 points and coasted to a
103-86 victory over Cleveland on Friday night. "Maybe they thought we
wouldnt have a game out of reach."
Jeff Green scored 31 points, the most by a Boston player this season,
and Jordan Crawford had his third career triple-double to lead the
Celtics to their third victory in four games. It was their biggest
margin of victory of the season, and the first time they have won at
home with such a comfortable margin that the fans could frolic with
"Gino."
"They dont know about Gino," injured point guard Rajon Rondo, the only
holdover from the two-time Eastern Conference champions, said in the
locker room after watching the game in street clothes as he recovers
from reconstructive knee surgery. "Weve got to get a couple more wins."
Crawford had 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Boston, which at
7-11 has the most wins in the Atlantic Division and is a half-game out
of first place. Avery Bradley scored eight of his 21 points in the first
quarter, when the Celtics jumped to an 18-2 lead.
They maintained a double-digit edge for the rest of the game.
"We got great defensive stops to begin the game with. Thats how we got
that lead," Green said. "We are finally putting everything together.
Weve had our ups and downs throughout the season ... but it was good to
put an all-around good game together."
Crawford had four points, four rebounds and three assists after one
quarter. He said he asked Stevens to stay in the game so he could
complete the triple-double,, reaching the milestone on a pair of free
throws with 94 seconds to play. James Laurinaitis Saints Jersey.
"Im whispering in his ear," he said. "I appreciate it, though."
Stevens said he was surprised to hear that Crawford had reached the
milestone and called his performance "shockingly effective."
"He had a triple-double? Crawford did? Holy smokes, I had no idea," he
told reporters afterward, looking at the stat sheet to confirm it. "He
had 11 rebounds? Jordan Crawford had 11 rebounds? ... Its good that our
guards rebound. Our guards need to rebound to win."
Dion Waiters scored 21 points and Kyrie Irving had 17 for the Cavaliers,
who lost their fifth straight game and fell to 1-9 on the road this
season. Cleveland scored just 10 points in the first quarter, its worst
output for any quarter this season, and lost for the eighth time in nine
games.
"To me, its a work in progress. Its going to be that way the entire
year," coach Mike Brown said. "But the one thing we can do is we can
defend better, and we did not do a good job of that at all, especially
in the first quarter."
The Celtics scored 18 of the games first 20 points, upped the lead to 20
early in the second quarter and extended it to 25 in the third.
Cleveland trailed by at least 10 points for all but the first 3:59 of
the game.
"They threw the first punch tonight and I feel like we laid down. ...
They controlled the whole game," Waiters said. "Weve got to be men. Weve
got to grow up. We cant just turn it around and think its going to be
easy. This is a mans league, so at the end of the day weve got to bring
it."
Clevelands only sustained run came in the middle of the second quarter,
when it went on a 16-6 run to cut a 20-point deficit to 10.
Anthony Bennett hit a 3-pointer, Waiters also had one, and then Waiters
added a three-point play to make it 45-35.
But the Celtics scored the next eight points, including a 3-pointer and
layup by Green.
Notes: Waiters took a hard foul from Brandon Bass late in the third
quarter. ... Russian rookie Sergey Karasev made his first start of the
season. It was the Cavs seventh different starting lineup. ... Celtics G
Courtney Lee missed the game with a sore left knee. ... Bennett, the
No. 1 overall draft pick, played 20 minutes and had four points, four
rebounds and four fouls.
