LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — After a Game 4 in which LeBron James scored 26 points, was a rebound and two assists short of his fourth triple-double this postseason, and played victory-clinching defense on the Nuggets’ best player, he was asked about his minutes.

James had played 38 minutes that night, 10 of which were in the fourth quarter. He bristled at the suggestion that his postseason workload this year, which is at a career low 34.6 minutes per game, contributed to him having enough energy to guard Jamal Murray.

“It’s winning time and I don’t have a chance or time to be feeling tired,” he said.
