LeBron James Gets Highlight-Reel Support as Cavaliers Crush Celtics

Kevin Love played quarterback. Kyle Korver did his best Dikembe Mutombo impression. But with LeBron James looking as relaxed and confident as he has at any point in these playoffs, the help from the non-LeBrons was just a bonus in a 111-102 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday.

James bullied his way to the basket. He continued to hit devastating midrange jumpers. He pulled down passes in traffic, got to the rim with ease and played his typical stellar defense in a complete performance that helped the Cavaliers even the series at two games apiece after an 0-2 start had many writing Cleveland’s obituary.
