INDIANAPOLIS -- LeBron James might very well be the greatest player in the history of NBA first-round playoff series.
He aims higher, of course, but his place in history in the opening round of the playoffs is pretty well etched, especially after the Cavs' 106-104 series-clinching win over Indiana Sunday.
The win was the 21st in a row for James' teams. That's an NBA record, dating back to when the league expanded to its current 16-team postseason format in 1984.
In 12 seasons, he's never lost an opening-round series. He's 48-7 in first-round games, and is averaging 29 points, 8.
