Lebron James scored 33 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Indiana Pacers 106 – 102 to advance in the Eastern Conference semifinals after a 4 – 0 sweep.
The Pacers had trimmed a 11-point deficit (91 – 80) and even gained the lead 100 – 102 with 1:31 remaining in an effort to stay alive in the race, but Lebron’s downtown bucket along with 2/2 from the line by Kyle Korver got them behind 105 – 102 with 19 seconds left.
Paul George, who had 15 points with 5/21 from the field, missed the shot to tie the match and James made it a two-possession game from the line.
Kyrie Irving had 28 points and Derron Williams scored 14 for the Cavs. Lance Stephenson led the Pacers with 20 points, while French center Kevin Seraphin had 4 points off the bench.
