James leads Cavs to 3-0 lead on Pistons (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers made the Detroit Pistons' inspired effort moot. James had 25 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, leading the Cavaliers to a 79-68 victory Friday night and a 3-0 lead in the first-round series. The Pistons, whose collective heart was questioned by one of their players, played hard for three-plus quarters before being rendered helpless by James.
