2007-08 NBA Season: CLE vs CHA, at MEM. Extra work pays off! »

On Friday LeBron James came through for the Cavaliers. He scored eight of his 31 points in the second overtime and pulled down a career-high 19 rebounds to lead Cleveland to a 113-106 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. Yesterday in another extra session game LeBron scored a season-high 51 points, including 25 in the fourth quarter and overtime, to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 132-124 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. It was the fourth time the league’s leading-scorer has reached 50 points in his career. “When we win, it means a lot. Every point counted tonight,” said James, who is averaging 29.8 points. “I’ve lost a couple of games scoring 50 points, and I didn’t like it too much. To have that accomplishment, and win the ballgame, means a lot.” James leads the league in scoring average in the fourth quarter with 9.4 points, and down the stretch in both regulation and overtime Cleveland had him running the show. In addition to the 25 points in the final two frames, James had four assists. Watch the recap from LeBron’s amazing performance click here.
