St. Patrick's Day four-point play

While FLS' gargantuan NCAA Tournament post remains in yinzer limbo, I'd like to take a few moments to revel in how well Tuesday went for the Cavs.

First, we defeated fellow conference contender Orlando amid an intense playoff atmosphere at the Q by making big plays down the stretch. Then, the Bulls donned their butt-ugly St. Patrick's Day jerseys and knocked off the Celtics, dropping Boston 4 1/2 games behind us in the race for the East's top seed.

The icing on the cake was Andre Iguodala's buzzer-beating dagger that stabbed the Lakers in Los Angeles and made us Top Gun in the race for NBA's best record.


To recap: that's a five-game lead in the loss column on both Boston and Orlando and a one-game lead on the Lakers, who are about to embark on a long road trip while we play 10 of our final 15 games at home.

Cheers, fellow Cavs fans. It's a great night to be us.
