LeBron James’ clutch performance saves Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5

LeBron James is currently facing the toughest first-round series of his career. The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the night tied 2-2 with the Indiana Pacers, and Game 5 looked like it was going to be a slugfest early.

Multiple players on both teams struggled to get going. Ultimately, LeBron showcased why he is arguably the greatest player currently in the game by winning the game legitimately by himself at the very end.

On the night, LeBron totaled 44 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, per ESPN. He shot 14-of-24 from the field and a perfect 15-of-15 from the free throw line.
