Well... for this franchise, coming out in a game 6 on the road, weathering the initial storm, then dominating the next 2.5 quarters by 30 points is a big step. Closing out a tough opponent on the road by making stops, getting key stops, that's a big step. Not being able to hold a big lead... that's an ongoing problem. Fortunately it's unlikely to come up next round!
So we go from playing one of the hottest defensive teams to one of the hottest offensive teams. Scoring shouldn't be a problem, but containing James and limiting the 3 point attack is key.
