There wasn’t an abundance of star power at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Monday night as the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Boston Celtics for Game 4 of their second-round playoff matchup. The biggest superstar of them all was in attendance, though, as the great LeBron James graced Monday’s contest with his presence.
As expected, the Cleveland home crowd gave King James a warm welcome in his return to his former stomping ground.
In case you forgot, LeBron is the man who led the Cavs to their first-ever championship back in 2016. The Cleveland faithful remember that well, and they made sure to give the Los Angeles Lakers superstar the warmest welcome in his return to The Land:

As you may have noticed, James was sitting courtside with his wife, Savannah. To his left was long-time friend and sports agent Rich Paul, who is also the founder and CEO of the renowned Klutch Sports Group.
Unfortunately for LeBron, he watched the Cavs suffer a loss against the mighty Celtics, 109-102. Not having Donovan Mitchell (calf strain) proved to be too significant a disadvantage for Cleveland, who has now fallen 3-1 in the series.
Game 5 on Wednesday is in Boston and you can be sure that the Celtics will be doing everything they can to close this series out at the first opportunity.
