CLEVELAND, May 12 (UPI) -- LeBron James had 21 points and 13 assists Monday, fueling Cleveland's 88-77 win over Boston and evening their Eastern Conference semifinals at 2-2.

Wally Szczerbiak and Daniel Gibson each scored 14 points for the Cavaliers, who held the Celtics to 5-of-16 shooting in the last quarter.

Kevin Garnett had 15 points, but just two in the second half, for Boston. Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen also scored 15 each, but none in the fourth quarter. Paul Pierce scored 13 for Boston, which finished with only three of 14 three-point attempts.
