Jayson Tatum led the Boston Celtics with 33 points as they defeated the severely undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers 109-102 in Game 4 on Monday night. With this victory, the Celtics now hold a commanding 3-1 lead in their East semifinal series.
Jaylen Brown also contributed 27 points for the Celtics, who have the opportunity to close out the series with a win in Game 5 at home on Wednesday night.
If Game 6 is necessary, it will take place back at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Friday.
The Cavaliers faced a tough challenge with two key players, Donovan Mitchell (calf) and Jarrett Allen (ribs), sidelined due to injuries, leaving them on the brink of elimination.
