Three games were contested in the NBA Playoffs on Wednesday.
EASTERN CONFERENCE:
At Cleveland:
LeBron James scored 27 points while Kylie Irving added 22 and J. R. Smith 21 as the Cleveland Cavaliers downed the visiting Detroit Pistons 107-90 in game two and stretched their conference quarterfinal series lead to two games to none. Andre Drummond paced the Pistons with 20 points.
