Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics on Friday night. It got ugly — as in record-setting ugly.
The Cavs bulldozed the Celtics 130-86, but the game was even more lopsided than that lopsided score might indicate. As Cleveland led 72-31 at the half, they’d set the record for the biggest halftime lead in NBA postseason history.

Skip Bayless didn’t seem to think that the Celtics had a solid chance at redemption in the series, which is now 2-0 in favor of the Cavaliers.
Cavs in 2.

Of course, any time there’s a lopsided matchup on a big stage, Twitter chimes in with jokes and memes and effectively roasts the losing squad. The Boston Celtics got it all, including the “Crying Jordan” treatment:
