LeBron James scored 30 points -- 15 in the fourth quarter -- and Kyrie Irving added 26 as the Cleveland Cavaliers finally shook off Boston for a 99-91 victory Tuesday night to take a 2-0 lead in their opening-round series.
James moved past Hall of Famer Jerry West on the career playoff scoring list and made sure the Cavs didn't slip up at home.
Timofey Mozgov added 16 points, Kevin Love had 13 and Tristan Thompson had 11 rebounds for Cleveland, which has had a tougher time than expected with a young Boston team.
Isaiah Thomas scored 22 points for the Celtics, who scrapped and clawed until the final minutes.
