Cleveland Cavaliers: What we learned from a must-win Game 4 victory
Lesson No. 3: Lance Stephenson is up to his old tricks.
Stephenson is back to his old tricks.
LeBron got the last laugh in this game, but that was after Stephenson baited him into a technical foul. This is the second time this season Stephson has baited LeBron into a technical.
LeBron knows he can’t let Stephenson bait him into technicals like this. After the game, LeBron compared the situation to an elementary school that it’s always the person that laughs at the joke and not the one that tells it that gets called out by the teacher.
LeBron James uses a great elementary-school analogy to describe his interaction with Lance Stephenson. 😂#CavsPacers | #WhateverItTakes pic.twitter.com/HWMpRqZOJO

Lesson No. 4: There isn’t a shot JR Smith can’t make.
Smith continues to amaze us all with his limitless range. But, what he did in Game 4 was absurd by even his standards.
JR ended the first quarter by connecting on a contested 60 foot shot in Bogdanovic’s face.

This is why JR has never taken a shot he doesn’t think he can make.
