LeBron James missed out on a triple-double by one assist in Game 6. That was just about the only thing he missed during the 109-99 win that kept the Cavaliers’ season alive.
James had 46 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists. His supporting cast stepped up at the Quicken Loans Arena in a way they haven’t on the road as George Hill, Larry Nance, and Jeff Green contributed double-digit efforts. Terry Rozier (28 points) and Jaylen Brown (27) fired back, but early turnovers hampered the Celtics’ chances of returning to Boston with Finals tickets in hand.
Here are some of the pivotal plays from Game 6:
