CLEVELAND -- LeBron James has played 984 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Whenever it ends, be it sooner or later, it will have been a ride of a lifetime.
Even in a career stocked with incredible playoff performances, James delivered an certified instant classic Wednesday night in one of those teeter-totter Game 5s that often determine seasons.
The headline is he made a deep 3-pointer at the buzzer, one of his stepback specialties, to beat the Indiana Pacers 98-95 to gift the Cavs a 3-2 series lead. The basket came after a game-saving block on Victor Oladipo that might've saved the game and got the Cavs the final possession with three seconds left.
