LeBron James flattens Jason Day’s wife sitting courtside
Ellie Day was sitting courtside at Cleveland’s home against the Oklahoma City Thunder when the National Basketball Association superstar star collided with her while trying to haul the ball back into play.
James led Cleveland with 33 points and added 9 rebounds and 11 assists.
Like James, Dellavedova and Thompson each finished off double-doubles, as Dellavedova handed out 10 assists to go along with his 11 points, and Thompson corralled 15 rebounds.
Although Oklahoma City pushed their advantage to 12 points, 40-28, on another 17-footer from Westbrook, the Cavaliers responded with an 18-0 scoring run over the next four-plus minutes, which gave them a 46-40 lead with 2:34 to play before halftime.
Harvey is an OH native and the couple and their children settled in Columbus. LeBron James and the Cavs will try to defend their home court against a streaking OKC Thunder squad led by Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.
Three Thunder players scored more than 20 points.
OKC’s bench wasn’t a factor, finishing with a total of 16 points.
James, who was diving to save a ball from going out of bounds at the Oklahoma City baseline, crashed into the first row of seats where the Day’s were seated. She was alert when she was taken out on the stretcher and brought to an upstairs room in the arena to be observed, according to TNT’s Craig Sager.
