Cleveland Cavs sweep four-game series against Washington Wizards.

After Tuesday's game, All-Star guard LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals. In a close fourth quarter, the Cavs lead 89-88, before Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored on a lay-in and drained a 17-foot jumper. The Cavaliers were up by 5 with 33 seconds left.

Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden sealed the game with two foul shots each. The Cavaliers will advance to play either the Toronto Raptors or the New Jersey Nets in the semifinals.

"It's going to be a long, stressful and fatigueful postseason for us so by us taking care of business tonight it's going to let us recover from the nicks and bruises from this series," said the three-time All-Star guard LeBron James.

James finished the night off with 31 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists to aid in the victory.
