Heart surgery and basketball: The comeback of Jeff Green is real

LeBron James may have baked the cake, but in Game 7, Jeff Green put the icing on top. Both combined to help the Cleveland Cavaliers defeat the Boston Celtics 87-79.

James ended the game with 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 9 assists. James led the team in all three statistical categories. Green, on the hand, ended the game with 19 huge points on 7-for-14 shooting and 8 rebounds.

Cavaliers not named James or Green finished the game with 11 made baskets combined. If Cleveland hopes to beat Golden State or Houston, they’ll need much more from their role players than 11 buckets.
