CLEVELAND - They dunked on the Boston Celtics. Then, they danced all over them. In an unforgettable season like none they've had before, the Cleveland Cavaliers are celebrating each milestone and moment.



LeBron James made five three-pointers and scored 29 points before swaying to the music in his seat, and the Cavaliers throttled the defending NBA champions 107-76 on Sunday to move within one win of matching the 1985-86 Celtics for the best home record in league history.

At 39-1, the Cavs can tie Boston's hallowed mark against Philadelphia on Wednesday night.

But equalling those Celtics of Bird, McHale and Parrish won't mean anything if the Cavs, who have already clinched the Eastern Conference's No. 1 playoff seed, can't dethrone the current guys in green sometime this spring.
