Coach Tyronn Lue is calling for LeBron James to be more assertive as the Cleveland Cavaliers have an opportunity to close out the Eastern Conference finals when the series shifts back to Toronto.
"He has to be very assertive," Lue said Thursday before the team boarded its charter flight. "He has to set the tone early and the rest of the guys will follow."
The Cavs, who have a 3-2 series lead after a blowout 111-78 win in Game 5 over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, fell behind quickly in Games 3 and 4 at Air Canada Centre.
