NBA Playoffs 2018 Conference Finals Game 6: Cleveland Cavaliers vs Boston Celtics Live Scores & Updates

The Cavaliers tore my bleeding Celtics heart apart, but I expect better from my team in Game 7 at the TD Garden. The Celtics are still unbeaten at home, and they have the ability to get more production from Al Horford who laid a big egg on offense tonight. It was a pleasure bringing the game to you and getting to relay a historic King James performance to all y'all, and this is Amulya Shekhar signing off. Good day everyone, let's hit each other up tomorrow at 6:30 IST, 9 PM ET for Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

LeBron James has not lost a single Game 7 in the last 10 years. It will be an uphill task for the Celtics against the greatest Game 7 player in the history of the NBA (only because Michael Jordan did not play many during his peak, though ;) )

46 PTS, 11 REB, 9 AST and a Game 7 feeling!

Monroe lays it in with 24 on the clock. George Hill takes it up to the frontcourt and lets the clock expire.

Garbage time lineups are out for both teams with 57 seconds remaining and the Cavs leading 109-96 as James misses the free throw. He still has 46 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, but it feels like just another day in the life of the King!

James gets the and-1 off Jaylen Brown on a drive, and the Cavs have forced a game 7. 109-96 lead with 44 seconds to go.

Horford continues his cold night with another miss, and that should be it for the Celtics.

The call stays the same and the Celtics will inbound the pass.

Horford misses the tip-in for a missed Tatum layup, but Tatum pokes it out off a Cavaliers' foot as called by the officials, who will review it.
