Eastern Conference Game 4
Boston 102
Cleveland 111
Last night was the first game of the Conference Finals (West & East) to finish in single digits (9 points) = no close games!
44 points on 28 shots for LeBron
Was Stevens was outcoached in Cleveland?
Boston has only won one playoff game on the road this post season.
Boston’s awesome at home
Boston’s coming off two REALLY bad performances (they were closer today but still sloppy)
Cavs are bad on the road but Cavs are probably better on road than Celtics.
So Game 5 tomorrow goes to......?
LeBron is now the All Time Playoff Record Holder for:

For those looking for s wee bit of Rockets hope tonight......the Rockets beat Golden State twice during the regular season. What did those two games in common? Andre Iguodala didn't play in either.
Tonight could be a career defining game for James Harden!
