LeBron James Powers Cleveland to NBA finals


In the NBA, LeBron James leads Cleveland Cavaliers to the 2018 finals after victory over Boston Celtics.

James hits 35 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists as the Cavs beat the Boston Celtics 87-79 to clinch the Eastern Conference finals series 4-3.

It will be the eighth finals in a row for James - and a fourth for the Cavs.

They will play Golden State Warriors or Houston Rockets, in the final.

The odds had appeared stacked against Cleveland, who came from 3-2 down in the series. They tied the series with victory in game six but still had to win in Boston - against a side which did not loose at home in the postseason.

In beating Boston, the Cavs also became the first team to win on the road in the Eastern Conference finals series.

Jeff Green finished with 19 points and eight rebounds, JR Smith added 12 points and Tristan Thompson scored 10 for Cleveland, who beat Boston 109-99 on Friday to force game seven.

Jayson Tatum led the Celtic attack with 24 points as Boston suffered their only loss in 11 home games during the play-offs.

The Warriors beat the Rockets 115-86 on Saturday to level the series and force their decisive game seven on Monday in Houston.
