Game 6 vs Golden State, 2016 NBA Finals

Following James’ historic Game 5 performance, many questioned whether he would be able to repeat the feat with Golden State’s defensive dynamo Draymond Green in the lineup.

It didn’t take long for the four-time MVP to put on an encore performance. Highlight reel dunks, passes, three-point shots and signature blocks, this was the perfect LeBron James game.

James began the game facilitating as the Cavs got out to an early 20-point lead on the back of a fast start from Kyrie Irving.

However, the crowd and the Cavs tightened up as the Warriors closed the gap late in the third quarter.

Cue LeBron James takeover mode.

James scored 18 consecutive Cavalier points in the second half, finishing with 41 points, 11 assists, eight rebounds, four steals and three blocks, including a special one on two-time MVP Stephen Curry.

Not only was this game one of LeBron’s finest, but it was also one of his most efficient as he shot 16-for-27 from the field, recording just one turnover for the entire game.
