LeBron stresses 'zero concern' over big loss

Celtics employ stifling defense to take steam out of Cavaliers

BOSTON - LeBron James has made Boston's TD Garden his personal playground during the playoffs in recent years, but none of that mattered on Sunday in the Celtics' 108-83 blowout of James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference final.

The Cavs entered the series with a 9-3 record against the Celtics in games played at the Garden over the past four years, including six straight wins.
