Game 3 at Atlanta, 2009 Eastern Conference Semi Finals

While it isn’t one of the most clutch situations of James’ career, this Game 3 performance against the hapless Atlanta Hawks features James at his explosive best.

In the 97-82 win over the Hawks, James’ jumper was simply on fire as he connected on 5-of-10 three-point shots en-route to 47 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists.

James’ dominance is highlighted by the fact that his next highest scoring teammate was Zydrunas Ilgauskas with 14 points.

LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers would go on to sweep the Hawks before facing the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference Finals.
