The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics in game seven of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday night.

Victory for the Cavaliers means that LeBron James will play in the NBA finals for an incredible eighth straight season. He will become the sixth player in the league's history to do so.

The game was not the prettiest - it was actually borderline ugly - but James lit up the TD Garden in Boston. The 33-year-old led the game in points, rebounds, assists and blocks.

Considering it was game seven - there was just a day's rest since Cleveland's win in game six in which both teams had looked tired - it's remarkable to note that James played every minute on Sunday, all 48 of them.

With a poor supporting cast - Jeff Green was the only other Cavalier to turn up on the night - James scored 35 points along with posting nine assists and 15 rebounds.

The Celtics being in the Eastern Conference Finals was a major achievement. They did so without two of their best players in Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. Brad Stevens's team went into the game unbeaten at home in the playoffs but were unable to take that step past James.

The Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets meet in game seven of the Western Conference Finals tonight.
