LeBron's 5 biggest heat-check shots in Game 2
LeBron James was a man possessed in Game 2.
It's not just that King James wound up with a game-high 43 points on 19-of-28 shooting - it's the manner in which he tore the Toronto Raptors' hapless defense asunder.
Here are the five most audacious shots James took in the Cleveland Cavaliers' resounding 128-110 victory Thursday.
Spins away from the hoop, hits fadeaway over Siakam
On this play, Pascal Siakam defended LeBron about as well as anyone could ask, even forcing him to bobble the ball.
It did not matter.
Fades into left corner, buries another shot over Siakam
Again, how does anyone defend this?
Tortures OG Anunoby with pivots
Welcome to the postseason, rook.
Spins right, cooks Lowry; spins left, cooks Lowry
Please keep Kyle Lowry in your thoughts in these difficult times.
Bonus heat check: Clips his nails midgame
If a midgame manicure allows James to access a higher plane of basketball ability, he should probably keep bringing out those clippers for the rest of the playoffs.
