Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James is often referred to as the greatest basketball player in the game today. However, in last night’s 111-108 Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics, the King turned in just 11 points (4-of-13 from the field, 0-for-4 from beyond the arc), six assists, six rebounds, one block, and one steal in his 45 minutes of playing time.
James really struggled to find a rhythm in Game 3, especially in the second half (three points). In fact, it was the fourth-lowest scoring postseason game of his career. While playing as a member of the Miami Heat in the 2014 Eastern Conference Finals, he recorded a meager seven points against the Indiana Pacers. The three-time champion took full responsibility for his sub-par performance, saying: “My performance is all on me.”
During his post-game media availability, Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue was asked about James’ off night from the field. The second-year head coach defended his star player, saying: “He’s human.”
