Cleveland Cavaliers: Pushing back harder on Boston -- Terry Pluto (photos)

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- When the Cavaliers are good...

When they are focused...

When they are more than a little desperate...

They are the Cleveland Cavaliers who overwhelmed the Boston Celtics, 111-102, in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

And we have a new series, the best-of-seven series tied at 2-2.

Do we have a new Cavalier team compared to the one that was bulldozed in the first two games of the series in Boston?

Could be.

These Cavs have developed some playoff grit, starting with Tristan Thompson, who had 12 rebounds, 13 points and some very determined defense on Al Horford.
