NBA Finals: LeBron misses potential game-winner in 2nd straight game, Curry bails him out in OT (VIDEOS)

For the first time in NBA Finals history, the first two games of a series went into overtime.

Cleveland Cavaliers' star LeBron James could have prevented that from happening on both occasions.

A fadeaway jumper from The King in Game 1 bounced off the rim at the end of regulation, with Cleveland eventually falling 108-100 to the Golden State Warriors in extra time.

With a chance at redemption in Game 2, James elected to drive the ball instead - this time botching a left-handed layup attempt with the game clock expiring.

NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry bailed out James' flub with two blunders of his own in overtime.

An air ball over Cavaliers' point guard Matthew Dellavedova with seconds remaining was the first of The Chef's key miscues.

An errant pass to Klay Thompson, which bounced off his foot, was the straw that broke the camel's back, assuring Golden State's fourth home loss of the year.

James dodged a huge bullet, reveling in the fact that his depleted team was able to steal a huge 95-93 victory at Oracle Arena.

The series, now tied at 1-1, will head to Quicken Loans Arena for Game 3 on Tuesday.
