 CLEVELAND (AP) - LeBron James again thrilled the crowd with a final shot — and a whole lot more. Two nights after winning a game at the buzzer for the first time in his career, James scored 19 of his 36 points in the final quarter to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 94-82 win over the Boston Celtics on Friday night.
"I wanted to be aggressive and put them away," James said as the Cavaliers moved closer to their first playoff berth in eight years. "It's a big win, but we can't slip. We're riding high, but have to keep our focus."
Any combination of Cleveland wins and Chicago Bulls losses totaling three will put the Cavaliers into the postseason for the first time since 1998 — when James was a gangly 13-year-old learning the game 40 miles away in Akron.
