Seafarers reeling from strong peso
CLEVELAND (AFP) - LeBron James scored 25 points, including 13 in the decisive fourth quarter, to lift the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 91-87 win over the Detroit Pistons in Game Four of the Eastern Conference finals.
Cleveland rookie Daniel Gibson scored a career-high 21 points and Drew Gooden added 19 in the win, which knotted the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. The series shifts back to Detroit for Game Five on Thursday.
James was 4-for-6 shooting in the fourth, provided a key jumpshot to give Cleveland a 87-79 lead with 3:21 to play and sank a pair of free throws to ice the win with four seconds to play.
Gooden also had a big fourth with seven points and a steal with just over a minute to play that helped preserve the lead.
Trailing, 77-74, in the fourth, the Cavaliers went on 9-0 which was capped on Sasha Pavlovic's layup to make it 83-77 with 5:23 to play.
The fourth quarter went far better for Cleveland than the third.
