LeBron James finished with 35 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers reached their fourth straight NBA finals with 87-79 game-seven victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
James put on another epic game-seven performance by rallying his team in the second half as he booked a spot in his eighth consecutive finals.
Cleveland became the first team to win on the road in the series and the first to beat the Celtics at home in the post season.
The Cavaliers will take on either the reigning champion Golden State Warriors or Houston Rockets in the championship series.
The Warriors dominated the Rockets 115-86 on Saturday to force a decisive game seven which will take place Monday in Houston.
