LeBron James sat courtside for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 102-109 defeat to the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday.
The 39-year-old, who led the Cavaliers to their first and only NBA championship in 2016, received a huge ovation from the crowd when he appeared on the big screen following a montage of his best moments in Cleveland. James’ presence wasn’t enough to inspire the Cavaliers, however, as Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum combined for 60 points to lift the Celtics to a commanding 3-1 series lead.
In his absence, Darius Garland scored a team high 30 points, while Evan Mobley and Caris LeVert both added 19 in a gritty Cleveland performance that ultimately wasn’t quite enough against the No. 1 seed Celtics. “There’s nothing better than winning a playoff game on the road,” Brown said, per ESPN. “It’s like everybody against you guys, you come here with the guys in the locker room.
