The Cavaliers are moving on to the second round for the second consecutive season.

Behind a combined 29 fourth-quarter points from Larry Hughes, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and LeBron James, Cleveland rallied out of a five-point hole at the start of the period and pulled off a 97-90 victory on the road in Monday's Game 4.

Hughes gave the Cavs their last lead of the game on a jumper with 4:36 to play. He scored 10 of his 19 points in final frame.

Ilgauskas iced the victory with 33 seconds left when he nailed a jumper to put his team up five. He finished with 20 points and 19 rebounds, while James registered 31 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.

Antawn Jamison once again led the Wizards in the absence Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler, scoring 31 points to bump his average for the series to 32 per game.

Cleveland will play the winner of the Nets-Raptors series, which New Jersey currently leads 3-1.
