AFP, LOS ANGELESReigning NBA champions the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday powered into the Eastern Conference Finals, downing the Toronto Raptors 109-102 to complete a four-game sweep of their playoff series. LeBron James scored 35 points with nine rebounds and six assists as the Cavaliers subdued the desperate Raptors to remain unbeaten in eight games in the playoffs. They beat them in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. The Cavs outscored the Raptors 17-9 over the final 6:15, Irving producing all 11 points in one key 11-2 Cavs run. James played the entire fourth quarter — but he will have plenty of time to rest since the conference finals do not start before Monday next week.
