In each of the seven times James has gone up 3-0 in a playoff series, his team won in a sweep.
Digital sports network Uninterrupted released a video of one of James' lifting sessions, and it seems like the Cleveland Cavaliers star is keeping the energy just as high in the gym as he is on the court.
Game 4 - The Cavs once again blew a lead (this time 13 points) as the Pacers went up 102-100 with 1:31 left. He finished with 33 points in helping the Cavs become the first team to sweep a four-game series from the Pacers.
Cleveland had an incredible night in Game 3, breaking the record for the largest second half comeback in playoff history, which was pretty much lead by LeBron James, and the bench because Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving only accounted for 13 points apiece.
Williams said "I think for this team, just being on the other end of it, and then being with them, it's hard to stay locked in for 82 games when you've been playing into June four, five years in a row". Myles Turner added 20 points and 9 rebounds.
All three finished the game.
But with the Cavs on offense, it was James again who played the role of hero for Cleveland, knocking down a 3-pointer to put Cleveland back up by one.

First the Ninth Circuit rules against the ban & now it hits again on sanctuary cities-both ridiculous rulings. White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus condemned the ruling and said the administration would appeal.
After struggling through the final weeks of the regular season and losing the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, the defending champs assured themselves of getting a little more rest. Unlike Matthew Dellavedova, the point guard on last year's LeBron-plus-bench units, Williams is a high-level creator.
Following a Pacers timeout, Stephenson helped spark a Pacers rally, drilling two threes to pull the score to a 38-37 Cavs lead.
But the Cavaliers needed several big plays in the final two minutes in order to close out the Game 4 win and third straight first-round sweep since LeBron James' return to Cleveland three summers ago. I go out every night to try and win a ballgame, do whatever it takes to help my teammates be successful and do whatever it takes to help me be successful. It was only after giving up 74 points in a half and facing a steep 25-point deficit that snapped the Cavs out of an apparent slumber. A couple of seconds later, George attempted an open 3 that would've sent the game to overtime.
In the four-game series, Cleveland outscored the Pacers by just 16 points. His bucket with 27.9 seconds left put IN up 24-22 at the first stop.
"You have to give credit to Cleveland".
Nene made all 12 of his shots and had 10 rebounds.
"Just like last game, we were using a lot of energy just to come back", Wade said. We play as a team. "They made the plays to win the games". In a game-two loss, he misfired on 14-of-18 shots in the fourth quarter. An ensuing technical foul on Teague and free throw by Irving made it a 12-point advantage. Chris Paul had 27 points and 12 assists for the Clippers, who host Game 5 on Tuesday.
