Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics game preview (TNT TV): Game 2 of NBA Playoffs 2015

The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night with LeBron James and co looking to claim Game 2 to go 2-0 up in this series.

The game comes tonight from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio and has a start time of 7 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast live on TV on the TNT network, but can also be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.

The Cavaliers will take to the court tonight hoping to avoid a repeat of the way they started their Playoffs opener in Game 1 against the Celtics.

For the first 15 minutes it looked like Cleveland had failed to show up, and various players have given their account of what it might have been that affected the team; some say it was nerves, others say the players were simply anxious. However, for sure it was uncomfortable for Cleveland fans to watch, and they will definitely want to avoid a repeat here tonight.

The Cavaliers of course did eventually turn up, and for the two quarters either side of half time they overwhelmed the Celtics and dominated all areas of the court.

Game 1 was the Cavaliers first postseason game at the Quicken Loans Arena in five years, so you can forgive them for being a little nervous, however, now that they survived that slight bump, they will want to see more of how they performed after that initial 15 minutes. In an 18 minute period after the start, the Cavaliers demolished the Celtics 53-25 to effectively end the tie and take Game 1.

James has spoken about Kevin Love: "It's very important that Kev stays involved. For our ultimate goal, Kevin has to be in the rhythm or at least touching the ball and feel like he's a part of what we're doing, which he is. Even with Kev's shot not falling early, I felt like just the rhythm he was in, the aggressive mode he was in will pay off for us later."

Tonight's big Game 2 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics will start at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TV on the TNT network or online through live stream here.
