Cavs playoff blog by Bob Finnan

In three home games in this series, Cavs center Zydrunas Ilgauskas has averaged 19 points and 8.7 rebounds.

In the two road games, he's been a different player and averaged 9.0 points.

It's important that he shows up in Game 6. That's because the Wizards are going to come out with fire in their eyes with a chance to knot the series at 3 games apiece.

Z was good on Wednesday, though, with 19 points, six rebounds, two blocks and two steals. He was 8 of 11 from the field.

He totally outplayed Wizards center Brendan Haywood, who had four points and five rebounds before fouling out.
