Celtics Take Commanding 3-1 Series Lead Over Cavaliers

Boston Dominates Game 4

The Boston Celtics took care of business on Monday in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinals matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a convincing 117-104 victory. The Celtics have now won three straight games in the series and hold a commanding 3-1 lead.

Cavaliers' Valiant Effort Not Enough

The Cavaliers put up a valiant effort without Donovan Mitchell, who missed the game due to a groin injury. Darius Garland led the way for Cleveland with 25 points, while Jarrett Allen added 22 points and 11 rebounds. However, the Celtics' defense was too much for the Cavaliers to overcome.

Celtics' Dominant Performance

The Celtics have been so dominant in their six wins so far that after they coughed up most of a 15-point fourth-quarter lead in Game 4, Jrue Holiday's late three-pointer ultimately sealed the victory and gave the Celtics a 3-1 series lead.

Conclusion

The Celtics now have a chance to close out the series in Game 5 on Wednesday. The Cavaliers will need to find a way to stop the Celtics' high-powered offense if they want to extend the series. However, the Celtics are playing with a lot of confidence right now, and they look like the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.
