Cavaliers 101, Celtics 93
Cleveland Cavaliers completed their four-game first-round sweep of Boston but suffered the potential loss of forward Kevin Love with a dislocated left shoulder.
The win in a very physical game that saw Cleveland guard J.R. Smith ejected sent the second-seeded Cavs into the Eastern Conference semi-finals against the winner of the Chicago Bulls-Milwaukee Bucks series. The Bulls lead that best-of-seven 3-1.
Forward LeBron James scored 27 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out eight assists as the Cavs built a 21-point halftime lead and held off a Boston charge that brought the Celtics as close as eight early in the fourth quarter.
