MVP runner-up LeBron James dominated Game 5 from the opening whistle pouring in 38 points, grabbing 12 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists in a Cleveland Cavaliers 106-101 victory. James also had zero turnovers in 41 minutes of action.
“Um, ‘Yayyyy,’ first off,” James said afterwards, when the stat was read back to him. “It’s the first thing that I always look at after the games. I just try to be efficient for my teammates and I was very efficient. I never pat myself on the back ever, but I will now.”
The Cavs have a chance to close out the series Thursday in Chicago.
