CLEVELAND (AP) -LeBron James scored 30 points, 24 in the second half, and Cleveland wore down the aging Boston Celtics in the second half for a 104-93 victory on Sunday, the Cavaliers’ second decisive win over one of the East’s premier teams in less than a month.
The Cavaliers were closer to full strength with the return of forward Antawn Jamison, who had 15 points and 12 rebounds after missing one game with a sore knee. Anderson Varejao had 17 points and 10 boards.
Last month, the Cavs beat the Celtics by 20 in Boston. In that game, center Shaquille O’Neal sustained a serious thumb injury and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Cleveland doesn’t appear to be missing him right now.
