LeBron James said prior to Wednesday’s Game 2 outing against the Indiana Pacers that he didn’t want to look forward in the series or the playoffs. His goal was to get the Cleveland Cavaliers their first win of the postseason after losing the opener this past weekend.
If the start of Wednesday’s game is any indication, it’s pretty darn clear that King James was focused solely on this game. How do we know that? James scored the first 13 points of the game for either team and netted 16 points before the Pacers even made a single field goal. Just five minutes into the game, and the score was LeBron James 16, Pacers 1.
It goes without saying that Twitter had some amazing reactions to James equipping God mode to start Game 2.
Cavs Coach Ty Lue publicly noted he wanted LeBron James to be more aggressive in Game 2.
So LeBron just went out and scored the Cavaliers’ first 13 points.— Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) April 18, 2018
