News and Notes

May 11
Wallace started Game 3 of the Cavaliers' Eastern Conference semifinal series with Boston despite occasional dizziness from an inner ear infection and had one of his best performances since joining Cleveland in a midseason trade. His defensive presence inside was a major factor in the Cavaliers' 108-84 win, which pulled them within 2-1 in the series. Advice: Wallace helped hold Kevin Garnett to 17 points, blocked shots and drew offensive fouls as the frustrated Celtics never could overcome a 13-point first quarter. Wallace finished with nine points - a season playoff high - along with nine rebounds, including seven offensive rebounds, two blocks, a steal and two assists. |
