10 Best Moments of LeBron James' 2018 Playoffs

<p>

3. Game 5 vs. Indiana Pacers

<p>

This one comes down to one shot. But first let's back up a little. The series was tied 2-2 and back in Cleveland for game 5, the most important game of a seven-game series. Indiana led by 7 at halftime even after LeBron scoring 14 first quarter points.

LeBron wasn't having any of it. He came out and scored 15 in the third quarter. The 7 point deficit turned into an 8 point lead for the Cavs at the end of third. It was looking like it was over for Indiana but just then, Cavaliers went cold. Meanwhile, Pacers weren't playing great basketball either but they kept the scoreboard ticking and tied the game 95-95 in the final moments of the game.

It was so bad that the Cavs couldn't score a single point for the last 4 minutes and 35 seconds. And so with 3 seconds left in the game, Cavs called timeout for the last time which gave them the ball on the sideline. LeBron got the ball on the right wing, took 2 dribbles to his left, pulled up right on top of the key and drained a cold-blooded 3 pointer. Cavs won 98-95. Oh and LeBron ended the game with 44 points.
