Game 3: Cleveland Cavaliers 90-92 Indiana Pacers - 5 Talking Points

#2 LeBron James tries to take over late, but it wasn't enough

LeBron James

While he did have a couple of big turnovers in the 4th, James was simply sensational shooting the ball late in this one. After Indiana went up 84-77, James answered with back-to-back 3 pointers, with the 2nd being a ridiculous fadeaway over Domantas Sabonis near the corner. He then hit another long 3 to pull them back to within 4 with 38 seconds remaining. All in all, James scored 12 points in the 4th and assisted on 4 more, being directly responsible for 16 of the Cavs' 21 points in the quarter but it just wasn't enough.

The turnovers didn't help and one particular play he didn't get back on defense after a turnover, which led to a Bogdanovic 3 pointer. He shouldn't be the one to be blamed though. The Cavs apart from James went cold late in the game, and if not for Kevin Love hitting a late 3, no other Cavalier apart from James hit a shot from the 9-minute mark in the 4th quarter which is just abysmal.
