His numbers were impressive: 12 of 25 from the field, 11 of 13 from the stripe, 35 points. James chipped in three rebounds and five assists to go with the explosive production, but in the third quarter of last night's 96-89 loss, he suffered the single-digit blues.
James converted just one of his five shots in the period, accounting for 2 points as the Cavaliers were throttled by the hot-shooting (12 for 16) Celtics, 29-17. The Cavaliers shot 38.9 percent (7 of 18) from the floor and now must win Game 6 tomorrow night in Cleveland to avoid elimination in the best-of-seven second-round series.
