Celts still winless on road as Cavs romp

CLEVELAND, Ohio: LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers made the most of the comforts of home Saturday, routing the Boston Celtics 108-84 in the NBA playoffs.

James scored 21 points as the Cavaliers bounced back from two losses in Boston to narrow the gap in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference second-round series to 2-1.

While the Cavaliers avoided falling into a 3-0 hole, and will now have a chance to even the series at home, the Detroit Pistons squeaked out a 90-89 victory in Orlando to take a 3-1 lead over the Magic in their series.
