LeBron James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their 12th straight victory on Thursday night in a dramatic win over the Chicago Bulls.
The teams battled all night in a back-and-forth contest until James iced the game late in the fourth quarter. After draining a beautiful fade away jumper over Kris Dunn, the 32-year-old faced the heartbroken Bulls bench and shouted ‘it don’t matter’ repeatedly.
Gutless.
James finished the frame with 11 points and 34 on the night, to go along with nine assists and six rebounds. The Bulls had won their previous seven games in a row, but they inevitably couldn’t manage to get in the King’s way.

Earlier in the game, LeBron provided viewers with another incredible mic’d-up moment, this time with an entirely different tone. In the middle of the battle, James went on a hunt to find his three-year-old daughter Zhuri candy, who was in attendance near the Cavaliers bench throughout the evening. James did hashtag #SheGetsWhateverSheWantsFromMe on her third birthday, so it’s not exactly surprising that she got her wish.
Few players are more enjoyable to listen to on the court and it’s always a treat to hear LeBron speak his mind on it. Even if it is about candy.
