James scores 47 in Cavs win

LeBron James had that unstoppable feeling. Everyone get out of the way. Time for him to do something really special.
As if being the league’s MVP wasn’t enough, James scored 47 points in his best performance yet of these playoffs, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to the brink of their second straight postseason sweep with a 97-82 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.
“It’s unexplainable, honestly,” James said after carrying Cleveland to a 3-0 lead in the series. “There’s only a few guys in this league that can get into a zone like that, and I’m blessed to have the ability to be one of those guys.
“You just feel like you can make pretty much every shot you take.”
Cleveland kept up its dominating run through the playoffs, setting an NBA record with its seventh straight double-figure win to eclipse the mark set by the 2004 Indiana Pacers. The only solace for the Hawks: They stopped the Cavaliers’ streak of 20-point playoff wins at three, including a pair of routs in Cleveland.
The Hawks were only down 47-46 at the halftime, and they surged back into their first second-half lead of the series with a 13-0 run in the third quarter. But Zaza Pachulia got ejected for arguing a foul call—acting as though he might attack the officials—and Atlanta faded away down the stretch.
James eclipsed his previous high in these playoffs—38 points vs. the Pistons in an opening-round sweep—and finished just one off his best playoff performance ever, a 48-point night against Detroit while leading Cleveland to its first trip to the NBA finals in 2007.
James has been incredibly efficient in this series, playing 108 minutes and scoring 108 points. He was at his best in this one.

Re: James scores 47 in Cavs win

The Hawks put a good fight at first, considering their star players werent at 100%. But after Pachulia was ejected, the wind went out of them like a deflated balloon.
James is just incredible. Shot after shot, whoosh. And he is still a young player. He isnt just the hot shot making all the points, he directs his teammates like the leader he is.
He does get a bit of a smirk on his face though at times after a particular breath taking shot. Guess he is entitled though.

"He does get a bit of a smirk on his face though at times after a particular breath taking shot. Guess he is entitled though."

After that game-winning shot he DEFINITELY deserved it. Always brings up the question - Jordan or James? Long-run I have to admit James will dominate.
