The top-seeded Celtics, who have shown a tendency to relax at the wrong time, didn’t show the Cavs much mercy. The Cavs were still within 102-97 when Brown buried a 3-pointer with 1:08 left and Boston closed it out at the free-throw line. The 39-year-old sat across from Boston’s bench in between his wife, Savannah, and agent Rich Paul. James got a monstrous ovation from Cleveland’s crowd when he was shown on the scoreboard during a timeout in the first quarter.
Allen sat out the seventh straight game with a painful injury the center sustained in the opening round.
