He added nine rebounds and nine assists. "I will give whatever I have, and do whatever I have to do".
Those are numbers that show how badly James wanted the Cavs (49-27) to stay on track, to get another needed victory and to keep the momentum going. "At this point, it's whatever this team needs from me".
As well as James' 41-point haul, Kyrie Irving scored 23 points on Sunday while Kevin Love added 20 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. You like to see that passion, and a lot of times take it out on the other team.
Cleveland may look vulnerable, but Brown isn't writing off the Cavs. But on the other end, George was fouled while attempting to hit a game-winner.
The Pacers got another chance at it and the responsibility to hit the victor once again rested on George's shoulders.
On Friday, the officials assessed Irving a flagrant-1 less than 90 seconds into the contest at Quicken Loans Arena for shoving Anderson in the back as he was running to the sideline to retrieve the basketball.
The play of LeBron James was nothing short of spectacular early on. Brook Lopez missed a 3-pointer on the Nets' ensuing possession, and Detroit sealed it at the free-throw line.
The Cavs struggles opened the door for the Celtics, and they have seized their opportunity.
The Cavs have spent the majority of the month on the road, but Thursday's TNT showdown against the Bulls came after two days' rest.
"We need them all", Chicago star Jimmy Butler said. They have been doing it all year. "That's why they are a good team". Stephenson played for the Pelicans and Timberwolves this season and hasn't practiced with the Pacers. "To finally just get one, hopefully it can lead to more". Neither Love nor Irving played at all in the fourth quarter of a game in which the Cavaliers led by as many as 32.
The Pacers and Cavs had a double-overtime Mortal Kombat sesh in OH, with Cleveland winning, 135-130.
Cleveland Cavaliers Forward LeBron James.
Given the state of the Cavs, this one was significant.
Syria is virtually guaranteed to break up Trump and Putin
On Friday, senior US military officials were looking more closely at possible Russian involvement in the poison attack. Mevlut Cavusoglu said Saturday that the USA intervention was only "cosmetic" unless it removes Assad from power.
The Bulls jumped out to a hot start behind Nikola Mirotic, who scored 13 of his game-high 28 points in the first quarter. They played an exceptional game.
It was a game where Cleveland was just a little better than the Pacers and it brings IN one loss closer to not playing any games beyond the scheduled 82. "I do think they can find that quickly".
RAPTORS 111, PACERS 100: DeMar DeRozan scored 40 points and Toronto rolled to its seventh straight home win over Indiana. "We're just in a bad spot", James said.
"I wish we could fight for the playoff". "It was a great game to be a part of, a great game to win".
That's not the face of a dude who is psyched to play three more games this week, and I wouldn't be surprised if he sat on Tuesday against Orlando.
George was a team-high +17 while on the floor Sunday. IN hit 18 free throws, but the Cavaliers hit 23.
The Pacers only committed 11 turnovers in the loss.
But that wasn't the only headline LeBron made during the game.
They don't always look like defending champions, at least not lately. So when he comes back off the screen he wasn't able to get up fast enough. "Something happened and he made a shot".
"We had a chance to win the game".
James also doesn't have to tell his teammates what to do because at crunch time, especially in the playoffs, the perennial MVP contender will let his actions do the talking. "Paul George was effective tonight doing that".
A pair of James dunks put the Cavs up three, but George scored after a bad Iman Shumpert turnover and Miles hit another three to put the Pacers up 104-102. That night will also be the 2010s Decade Game and all fans in attendance will receive a bobblehead of All-Star forward Paul George.
