10 Best Moments of LeBron James' 2018 Playoffs

1. Game 2 vs. Indiana Pacers

So the Cavs were handed an eighteen point loss in game 1 on their home turf which set the equation straight. The young Indiana Pacers were not to be taken lightly. LeBron still had a triple-double in game 1 but that was nowhere near enough. It was clear these Pacers were not going to go away easily.

What followed in game 2 was LeBron single handedly hammering the Pacers right from the start. He started the game scoring 13 straight points on 6 of 6 shooting. He scored 20 points in the first period alone, 29 in the first half and ended the game with 46 points on 71% shooting from the field.

For once, he looked like the mean mugging version of LeBron James from game 6, 2012 east semis against the Boston Celtics. Why was all of this important? Because the Pacers came very close to a 2-0 lead heading back to Indiana. Cavs won 100-97 even after LeBron dropping 46. It was those 13 straight points that helped the Cavs stay alive and tie the series.
