LeBron James scored 30 points, Kevin Love had 21 points and 12 rebounds as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics 130-86 on Friday, breezing to a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

Cleveland led by a record 41 points at the break and by 46 after three quarters as James and the rest of the starters sit out the fourth quarter. Kyrie Irving had 23 points for the Cavaliers. Richard Jefferson added 10.

"It's one game. I don't care if you win by 200 points," Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue said. "We're going back home, we're not going to get comfortable. We understand that this is a good team. They're not No. 1 in the East for no reason."

Thomas, who scored only two points, missed all six shots from the field. Rookie Jaylen Brown scored 19 for the Celtics, Avery Bradley had 13 and Al Horford had 11 points and five rebounds.

"It is embarrassing," Celtics guard Avery Bradley said. "As a man, as a basketball team, it will say a lot about us how we respond."

Game 3 is Sunday night.
