LeBron James has boasted about his memory in the past, saying he can remember random plays and recall exactly what happened.
The Cleveland Cavaliers finally caught a break. And again, he sent the Indiana Pacers home for vacation.
Following up his triple-double in the Cavs' epic Game 3 comeback, James went for 33 points, 10 rebounds and four assists Sunday despite a cold-shooting fourth quarter.
With James in the corner, George is the last line of defense. Stephenson led IN in the first half with 14 points, and Jeff Teague had 10.
Indiana, which never had been swept in a seven-game series, took a 102-100 lead on Thaddeus Young's tip-in with 1:31 to play, but the Cavaliers scored the game's final six points to advance to the second round of the Eastern Conference.
"You don't go into a series thinking sweep", James said.
Because of all of that, we can't quite say the Cavs' four-game losing streak to end the regular season seems long ago.
"I just try to put myself in position to help my teammates be in position to help us win".
Three times, the game came down to the final minute, when James thrived. George, who finished with 15 points, would miss what would have been a game-tying three-pointer with under seven seconds remaining.
Now, as the Pacers head home defeated, James and the Cavaliers will prepare for the victor of the Toronto Raptors-Milwaukee Bucks series, where King James will have a chance to add to his record.
For Indiana, it will go down as yet another tormenting chapter in their rivalry with James.

James is also 52-0 in the playoffs when his team hold a double-digit lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Cavs' Tyronn Lue, in his first full season leading an National Basketball Association team, completely outcoached McMillan during the Cavaliers-Pacers series.
IN led 24-22 after one quarter despite shooting only 43.5 percent (10 of 23) and turning the ball over five times. George had a series-low 15.
Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (13) and guard Iman Shumpert (4) react to a call as Indiana Pacers forward Paul George (13) complains from the floor during the second half in game two of the first round of the 2017 NBA Playoffs at Quicken Loans Arena. "Ultimately, he is who I'm always going to have to see and face".
It sure wasn't easy.
They charged back from a 96-83 deficit with a 7-0 spurt early in the in the fourth quarter. Boston blew a 20-point lead and trailed 65-63 before Thomas delivered 10 points during a 12-0 run that put them ahead to stay.
But James answered with the go-ahead 3.
Kyrie Irving (28 points) was the only other starter who scored in double figures for the Cavaliers, but Deron Williams helped carry the load with 14 points off the bench. He had a game-high 33 points to go along with 10 rebounds and four assists.
According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, the Cavaliers are favored in today's game, as they are getting odds of -3.5 points against the Pacers. It was the first time they were swept since the 1992 playoffs - a stretch of 37 consecutive series with at least one victory. He didn't drop any hints about which way he's leaning after the game and there has been rampant speculation he could be traded this summer.
"I ain't even at that point yet", he said. "Next question", George said, when asked about his future.
"This past week for whatever reason, things got worse".
