#2 - Washington Wizards 108-72 Cleveland Cavaliers, 24 April 2008
With the Cleveland Cavaliers comfortably up 2-0 in the first round of the 2008 playoffs, the Washington Wizards roared back in Game 3. Despite being doubled and triple-teamed at times, LeBron James finished with 22 points.
While he held up his end of the deal, the rest of the team did not. The rest of the lot shot 35% from the field and the Cavs, on the whole, had 23 turnovers. They didn't fare much better on defense either, allowing the Wizards to score at will.

DeShawn Stevenson led the way with 19 points. This series is often remembered for the back-and-forth talk between James and Stevenson, who called "The King" overrated earlier in the season. Stevenson had his way for a day, but the Cavs handled the Wizards the rest of the way and won the series in six games.
