CLEVELAND – Order has been restored for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Four games with Toronto straightened them out.
LeBron James sent the Raptors into summer vacation for the third straight season as the Cavs completed another series sweep over the East's top team with a 128-93 win in Game 4 on Monday night to advance to the conference finals for the fourth consecutive year.
James finished with 29 points, 11 assists and spent some of the final 7:38 dancing near the bench during Cleveland's 10th straight playoff win over Toronto, which changed its system, its roster and its approach but still can't beat the game's best player.
Pushed to the max for seven games by Indiana in the first round, the Cavs took care of Toronto quickly.
"It was a great series for us," James said. "We had a lot of challenges to start the series knowing the domination they had in the regular season. We had a great game plan, and we just tried to execute it."
Kevin Love added 23 points and J.R. Smith 15 for the Cavs, who can now rest while waiting for the Boston-Philadelphia semifinal series to end.
Jonas Valanciunas scored 18 and Kyle Lowry had 10 assists to lead the exasperated Raptors. Toronto's frustration hit its peak late in the third when All-Star DeMar DeRozan was ejected for a flagrant foul.
