The Cleveland Cavaliers were in the midst of a tough battle with the Indiana Pacers in Game 5 of their first round series. With the Cavs down seven at halftime at 49-56, star forward LeBron James took over in the third quarter, scoring at will around the basket or creating for his teammates.
In one fast break instance, James received a pass while cutting to the basket and immediately spun 180 degrees and whipped a perfect pass into Kyle Korver’s shooting pocket. Unfortunately, it was not one of Korver’s five makes from downtown, but it still made for an incredible highlight considering how quickly LeBron got rid of the ball.
Midway through the fourth quarter, LeBron James has 39 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists with the Cavs leading the Pacers. Korver has chipped in 19 points on 6-11 shooting and 5-9 from beyond the arc. Obviously, the winner of this game takes a 3-2 lead over the opposition heading into Indiana for a Game 6.
