James Shouts At Mother After Hard Foul

CLEVELAND (WBZ) ― Even though the Cleveland Cavaliers evened their playoff series with the Celtics Monday night, there was an embarrassing moment in Game 4 for LeBron James.

The Celtics made sure James never got too far from their sights, and when the superstar got loose on a fast break at one point, Paul Pierce wrapped his arms around him to prevent a possible dunk.

The players' momentum carried them into a crowded front row, where James' mother, Gloria, told Pierce to leave her baby alone.

James, 23, started shouting at his mother, while Pierce and Kevin Garnett separated them.

"I told her to sit down, in some language I shouldn't have used," James said after the game.

"Thank God today wasn't Mother's Day. All I could think about is her. ... I know my mother. It's fine, we're good."
