The Cleveland Cavaliers completed their four-game, second-round sweep of the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, winning 109-102 to advance to their third consecutive Eastern Conference finals.

The Cavs' total dominance of the Raptors came at the tune of near-50 percent field-goal shooting over the four games, including 46.6 percent from deep. LeBron James averaged 36 points in the series, hitting 57.3 percent of his shots from the floor.

The series win was the 31st of LeBron's career, which surpassed Michael Jordan's 30. James has also now been on the winning side of 11 best-of-seven series sweeps, which is the most all time.

The Cavaliers have not lost a postseason contest since Game 4 of last June's NBA Finals, winning 11 straight since. In those games, James has averaged 35 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 7.8 assists on 54.3 percent shooting.

For the Raptors, their season ends at the hands of Cleveland for the second straight year. The team faces several offseason questions with Kyle Lowry expected to opt out of his contract, and Serge Ibaka, Patrick Patterson, and P.J. Tucker set to join him in free agency.
