Boston at Cleveland, 8:00 p.m. ET -- The AP reports: Boston, which went a league-best 31-10 in away games during the regular season, has dropped all four of its road games so far in this postseason, a potentially disturbing trend for a team aiming to win it all. A perfect 6-0 inside noisy TD Banknorth Garden so far in these playoffs, the Celtics dropped to 0-4 on the road Saturday night with a 108-84 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who trimmed Boston’s lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series... The Cavs got the big game they needed to get back into the series. Although star LeBron James remains stuck in a three-games-old shooting slide (he’s up from 19 to 22 in field-goal percentage), Cleveland got key contributions from Smith, Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiak and Ben Wallace, the veteran foursome brought in at the trading deadline by general manager Danny Ferry... Cavs coach Mike Brown didn’t know Wallace could go until an hour before tipoff, but even when Cleveland’s starters were announced, it was still unclear if Big Ben was in the lineup. When Wallace was introduced to the crowd, Anderson Varejao ran onto the floor as his teammates broke into laughter and fans wondered if there had been some mistake.
