James’ 45 points power Cavs to Game 7 triumph
LeBron James wasn’t ready to go home or to Philadelphia or Los Angeles. He’s heading to Toronto, bringing a Cleveland team that isn’t done yet.
Unwilling to sit despite dealing with leg cramps in the second half, James scored 45 points and got some much-needed help from his teammates in Game 7 to stay unbeaten in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, leading the host Cavaliers to a 105-101 win Sunday over Indiana, which pushed James to the breaking point.
“I’m burnt right now,” James said. “I’m not thinking about Toronto right now until tomorrow. I’m ready to go home. Can we? I’m tired. I want to go home.
