Much has been made of the Cavaliers' dominance during the playoffs, as they swept both the Pistons and the Hawks, and were up 2--1 on the Raptors through Sunday. LeBron James, who was averaging 23.5 points, 8.6 rebounds and 7.1 assists. isn't the only reason for Cleveland's success. Guard Kyrie Irving(far right) leads the team in playoff scoring with 23.7 points per game, while forward Kevin Love is averaging 17.0 points and 10.3 rebounds. Can this duo stay hot and help LeBron to his first championship in wine and gold? Go to SI.com/nba for complete playoff coverage, including analysis of each game, photo galleries and videos. Plus, Rob Mahoney breaks down the Knicks' surprise hire of coach Jeff Hornacek.
