The Cleveland Cavaliers are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals for the fourth straight season after beating the Toronto Raptors 128-93 in Game Four on Monday.

LeBron was content to set up his fellow teammates early, as he passed to JR Smith, who retreated to the corner to drilled three of his 15 points. DeMar DeRozan tried to bring Toronto Raptors back with a huge dunk near the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Jonas Valanciunas bullied his way into the paint, to put the Raptors in front by two. Cleveland regained control and James went behind his back to set up Kevin Love's easy basket. And James closed the first half with a spinning lay-up to put the Cavaliers 63-47 ahead.

Things got worse for the Raptors later in the third quarter, as James fired in two more of his game high 29 points. The Cavs rolled to a huge victory, to advance to the Conference Finals once again.

They await the winners of the Boston versus Philadelphia series, which will go to Game Five after the 76ers defeated the Celtics 103-92, and prevented a sweep. Dario Saric led Philly with 25 points. Ben Simmons and TJ McConnell added 19 points each.
