Lesson No. 1: The Cavs are never out of the game with LeBron.

LeBron continues to show that you can never count him or his team out of a game. He was the main reason why the Cavs were able to come back against the Wizards Thursday night finishing with 14 points, four rebounds, and four assists in the final eight minutes.

On Friday night, James led the charge by putting up 35 points on 13 of 17 shooting in the second half alone.

The team rallies behind the LeBron when he’s having games like this. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to secure a few lose balls or make crucial free-throws to complete the comeback.

While falling behind like they have is never a good thing, it’s encouraging to know that this team doesn’t give up no matter the circumstances.
