CLEVELAND, Ohio - The last time the Cleveland Cavaliers played at home while trying to stave off an off-season with as many ominous possibilities as they will face in Friday's last-stand game against Boston at The Q, they also were facing the Boston Celtics.
It did not go well.
LeBron James made only three of 14 shots in a 120-88 defeat.
Game 5 in the second round of the playoffs in 2010, Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night; Boston the nemesis, then and now; James' last home game a real possibility, then and now.
