There’s nothing in sports quite like LeBron James when he decides he’s done screwing around. After losing Game 1 against the Indiana Pacers over the weekend, breaking his streak of 21 straight first-round wins, James decided just that. It resulted in a 100-97 Cavaliers win on Wednesday, and Cleveland tying the series at one game each.
The San Antonio Spurs have announced head coach Gregg Popovich’s wife Erin Popovich died Wednesday. Gregg and Erin were married for 40 years and had two children and four grandchildren.
Victor Oladipo is a superstar. That much can’t be denied anymore, not after the magical season he had and not after he silenced a rowdy Cleveland Cavaliers crowd with 32 points, six rebounds, four assists, and four steals in the Pacers’ shock Game 1 blowout win.
The Cavaliers got the win they needed in Game 2 against the Pacers but it may not have been the way they wanted. It took every bit of LeBron James for the Cavs to squeak by this pesky Pacers team. James started the game by scoring 16 straight points before the Pacers even scored a field goal.
