The Cavs’ defense showed up once again tonight, and the series is now tied at 2-2. They held Boston to just 41.2% from the field and were able to use a 16 point lead built in the first quarter to come out on top with a nine point win. LeBron James led the way for the Cavs with 44 points, five rebounds, and three assists. It was his sixth game with 40 or more points in the playoffs to date.
James wasn’t alone tonight at all though. Tristan Thompson put up 13 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
