 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Ten seconds of defense by a gimpy Eric Snow has the Cleveland Cavaliers on the verge of their first Eastern Conference final in 15 years.
Snow protected a two-point lead by forcing a turnover by Vince Carter with 1.9 seconds to play and LeBron James rebounded from a sub-par effort with 30 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in an 87-85 win over the New Jersey Nets on Monday night.
While James' performance in Game 4 is what most people will remember, it was the Cavaliers' defense that put them a win away from their third conference final, and first since 1992.
