Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Avery Bradley broke plenty of hearts in Cleveland on Friday night.

With 3.1 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the Celtics trailing the Cavaliers by two points, Isaiah Thomas found Bradley in the left corner for a 3-pointer as time expired, giving Boston a 104-103 win at Quicken Loans Arena.

It was Bradley's fourth make from behind the arc in the game, and he finished with 14 points and three rebounds in 35 minutes.

Boston trailed by five points with 18 seconds remaining before Jae Crowder cut into the lead with a 3-pointer. An and-1 layup by Evan Turner brought the Celtics back to within two; however, he missed his free-throw attempt, with the ball going out of bounds on Cleveland's LeBron James.

Cleveland's grip on the top seed in the Eastern Conference was cut to 1.5 games over the Toronto Raptors with the loss. Boston improved to 30-22 with its third victory in a row.
