LeBron James leads Cavaliers past Celtics, and back to NBA Finals
LeBron James flexed his muscles, and the Cleveland Cavaliers will return to the NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive year after beating the Boston Celtics, 87-79, in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday night. In an often ugly, defense-dominated game, the Celtics shot just 18% from the 3-point line (7-for-39), and lost at home for the first time this postseason. James dominated Sunday's game, ending up with 35 points, 15 rebounds and 9 assists, and providing a dose of swagger that motivated his teammates to victory. It will be James' eighth straight Finals appearance; he's won three titles in that stretch. This year's trip to the Finals might be James' most impressive achievement, as he's surrounded by arguably his weakest supporting cast in that stretch. The NBA Finals will start Thursday, with the Cavs meeting either the Golden State Warriors or the Houston Rockets, who will face off in a Game 7 of their own on Monday night.

Will Power wins Indy 500; Danica Patrick crashes in final race
Will Power became the first Australian driver to win the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, giving team owner Roger Penske his 17th victory in the famed race. Power, 37, led for 59 laps, and took the lead for good with four laps to go after three racers ahead of him had to refuel. Power, driving in a car from GM's Chevrolet, ended up holding off Ed Carpenter, who had started from the pole position, to take the checkered flag in the race's 102nd running. Danica Patrick, making her final IndyCar race before retiring, crashed in the 68th lap. Power's performance capped a winning day for Australian race-car drivers, as fellow countryman Daniel Ricciardo won Formula One's Monaco Grand Prix earlier in the day.
George H.W. Bush hospitalized in Maine after 'fatigue'
Former President George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized in Maine after experiencing "low blood pressure and fatigue," his spokesman announced Sunday. In a tweet, Jim McGrath said "He will likely remain there for a few days for observation. The former president is awake and alert, and not in any discomfort." Bush, 93, had been vacationing in Maine.
