If there’s one thing LeBron James knows how to do well, it’s come up clutch in the postseason.
After things didn’t go so well for the Cavaliers in the second half of the season, James made it clear that he was not worried about where they finished in the standings heading into the postseason.
The three-time NBA champion proved that in the first round against the Indiana Pacers by ending the series as quick as possible.
In the four games against the Pacers, LeBron James averaged 32.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 9 assists while playing an average of 43.7 minutes per game. Aside from his impressive stat line throughout the series, the four-time NBA MVP accomplished two historic feats in the Cavs’ victory.
LeBron James means business in the postseason, which is probably why he has 21 straight first round victories.
Since James plays so much basketball throughout the year, as his teams tend to go on lengthy runs in the postseason, he likes to get the early rounds out of the way as soon as possible. On Sunday afternoon, he set a new NBA record for the most best-of-7 playoff sweeps in NBA history.
The three-time NBA Finals MVP plans on adding some more hardware to his trophy case at the end of the season and will take out any team that tries to get in his way.
