CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Cavaliers packed for a weekend stay in Beantown -- not a few weeks on Cape Cod.

They've got at least one more game left, and in the NBA, it's as big as they ever get.

Game 7. Tomorrow. In Boston.

LeBron James scored 32 points -- 19 in the second half -- and the Cleveland Cavaliers forced a decisive and fitting finale to this home-sweet-home playoff series with a 74-69 win last night against the Boston Celtics, who have gone from regular-season road kings to postseason road kill.

James, whose jump shot mysteriously has been missing in this series, made two key baskets midway through the fourth quarter to slow a Boston comeback, Wally Szczerbiak hit a 3-pointer with 2:10 remaining and Joe Smith dropped two free throws with 14 seconds left.

The Celtics, as has been well-documented to this point, are still searching for their first road win of these playoffs. They're 7-0 at home, but 0-6 traveling outside Boston's city limits

Boston isn't the only team having road woes. So far in the second round, home teams are an eye-popping 21-1, a statistical testament if there ever was one to securing home-court advantage during the regular season. The only team to win an away game has been the Pistons, who won by a point in Orlando and are awaiting the winner of this series.

Coach Doc Rivers joked that the Celtics were going to try something drastic to snap the club's slide with their suitcases.

"I guess we could bring the scorekeepers, and bring all the wives on the road," he said. "We're not going to do that. We're just going to show up and play basketball."

No team has won an NBA title after losing its first five road playoff games or by winning just its home games.

The Cavaliers previously faced an elimination game in the NBA Finals last, and they didn't fare well as the San Antonio Spurs completed a four-game sweep. Despite the club's precarious situation, coach Mike Brown, his coaching staff and Cleveland's players were remarkably loose as they prepared for what could have been their final game of the season.

"You can't panic," guard Delonte West said. "This is when it gets fun. This is when you see what your team is made of."
