LeBron James scored 21 points while adding six rebounds and a playoff career-high 13 assists to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers past Boston 88-77 to level their second-round series.

James dunked over NBA Defensive Player of the Year Kevin Garnett in the final minutes to pull the Cavaliers even at 2-2 in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference second-round showdown.

James sank only 7-of-20 from the field but slammed the ball through the rim over Garnett to given the Cavaliers a nine-point lead with 1:45 to play.

Garnett finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds but the Celtics, who had the NBA's best record in the regular-season, lost their fifth game in a row in the playoffs.

Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen added 15 points for the Celtics while Paul Pierce added 13 points for the Celtics.
