LOS ANGELES: LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers thrashed the Boston Celtics 116-86 on Saturday (Sunday in Manila), powering their way back into the NBA Eastern Conference finals.

The Cavaliers trimmed the deficit in the best-of-seven series to 2-1 -- avoiding the 0-3 hole from which no NBA team has returned to win a series. They’ll try to even things up when they host game four on Monday.
