LeBron James scored 21 points, delivering a devastating dunk over a defenseless Kevin Garnett in the final two minutes, as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the homesick Celtics 88-77 in Game 4 to tie the best-of-seven series at 2-2. Daniel Gibson and Wally Szczerbiak added 14 points apiece, Varejao had 12 points for the Cavs.
Kevin Garnett scored 15 points, but only two in the second half, as Cavaliers forward Anderson Varejao harassed the Celtics’ All-Star all night. Ray Allen had 15 points and Paul Pierce 13 points, but the Celtics’ Big Three were only a combined 16-of-40.
The Celtics dropped to 0-5 on the road in the postseason, a stunning slip for a team that went 31-10 outside their home floor during the regular season. During a short stay in Ohio, the Celtics lost their momentum in the series but will now head home, where they went 35-6 before the playoffs started.
