One of the Cavaliers’ biggest concerns coming into Wednesday night’s matchup was that they might look past the 13-22 Bobcats with Friday night’s heavyweight showdown with The Celtics on deck. But the Wine and Gold put that concern to rest one stanza into the affair, jumping out to a 29-12 first quarter lead behind LeBron James’ 15-point period.

Start the hype. After pounding the Bobcats by 30 Wednesday, the Cavs officially turned their attention to Friday’s showdown with the defending champion Celtics. And it took point guard Mo Williams just a few moments to do so after the 111-81 rout of Charlotte at Quicken Loans Arena.
