LeBron James made a compelling case for himself on Sunday, when he carried the Cleveland Cavaliers to a victory that very few thought possible, a 95–93 overtime win over the Golden State Warriors that tied the Finals at 1-1.
LeBron will have to be Superman for the Cavs to beat the Warriors now and he was for one night at least, finishing with 39 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists.
A day earlier, he had said that he didn’t think playing the entire game was realistic, but as it turned out, he nearly did. James played 50:20 of the game’s 53 minutes.
