The triple ring-holder scored 44 points on Monday night, shooting 60.7 percent from the field as the Cavs beat the Celtics 111-102 on home court to tie the series at 2-2. LeBron has now scored 40 or more points in six of the 15 games he’s played in this postseason and has passed the 30-point barrier in a playoff game against Boston an astonishing 22 times.
