NBA: Celtics down shorthanded Cavaliers for 3-1 lead
Even when it’s supposed to be somewhat easy, the Boston Celtics have a weird way of making things hard. On Monday night, they nearly stumbled against an overmatched Cleveland team. Jayson Tatum scored 33 points with LeBron James watching from a courtside seat and the Celtics beat the severely shorthanded Cavaliers 109-102 in Game 4 to take a commanding 3-1 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
