LeBron aka “The Closer” Leads Cavs’ Victory for a 2-0 Series Lead. »
With the eighth-seeded Chicago Bulls playing LeBron’s Cleveland Cavaliers even, applying the type of pressure they weren’t supposed to see for another round or two, James put together a three-minute highlight reel that buried the Bulls. Scoring 11 straight Cavs points, James willed his team to a 112-102 victory and a 2-0 lead in this first-round Eastern Conference series. The late run was the defining stretch of a terrific outing by the soon-to-be two-time MVP, who turned in a dazzling, 40-point, 8-assist, 8-rebound, 2-block performance at Quicken Loans Arena. “It was a sight to see,” said teammate Antawn Jamison, who followed LeBron with 14 points. “To see how close the game was and for him to take over, you just have to realize that you’re witnessing history. There’s only a certain amount of guys who can do that. I’ve seen my fair share of that as an opponent and it’s gratifying to be on the same team as a guy like him.”
