All through these Playoffs, Kyle Korver's been the only consistent scoring punch LeBron can depend on. Whether Kevin Love shows up or not, in his limited role, Korver has contributed in a majority of the Cavaliers' 13 games so far.

This game too, where he was pushed down to the bench with Tristan Thompson starting, he put up 11 points in 21 minutes. He was on fire in the second quarter, where he scored all of his 11 points in 9 minutes on 4-of-5 shooting including 2-of-2 on 3s.

In the second half, the Celtics clamped down on his open space by putting Marcus Smart on him and he failed to register a single point the rest of the way, going 0-of-3 on 3s.

Despite just 11 points, to a certain extent, Korver, in his limited role, did his job. Unfortunately, the rest of the guys on the Cavaliers roster did not.
