In a winner-take-all Game 7 at the TD Garden on Sunday night, the hometown Boston Celtics took a 43-39 lead into halftime on the back of a combined 25 points from Al Horford and Jayson Tatum.
LeBron James notched a double-double in the first half with 17 points and 10 rebounds, but had five turnovers to just two assists.
Both sides couldn't buy a bucket from 3-point range. Cleveland connected on just 2-of-17 from deep, while Boston was barely better at 4-of-19.
