LeBron reveals he played three games with broken hand

Durant, while not his best shooting night (7-17), played inspired defense and finished with a triple-double (20 points, 12 boards, 10 assists) en route to winning back-to-back Finals MVPs.

Cleveland has battled back from an 11-point deficit to regain the lead in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

James, 33, is the oldest finals leader in points and minutes, having struck for 51 points in the opener, the fifth-best game total in finals history. Stephen Curry scored 37 points.

Another “Summer of LeBron” could start as early as Friday night.

Claiming a third title in four years puts the Warriors in even rarer company.

He showed up to the post-game press conference wearing a cast and called his injury “self-inflicted” from postgame after a “very emotional” Game 1 loss.

The King, born in Akron, drafted No. 1 overall by the Cavs in 2003, left them in 2010 and returned in 2014, can be a free agent at season’s end.

Since 2009 the award has been named for Celtics legend Bill Russell, the 11-time champion who surely would have won the award several times if it existed in his playing days.

And what will it take for these Warriors – this dynasty that has reshaped not just the NBA but how the modern-day game of basketball is played – to surpass all the other dynasties before them?

Warriors guard Stephen Curry attempts a layup with LeBron James lurking in the third quarter of Game 3 of the 2018 NBA Finals.

Unfortunately, Hood was the only reserve to make a real dent in Game 3.

That brief moment of vulnerability, though, quickly fell away.

The Cleveland Cavaliers went out with a whimper in Game 4 of the NBA Finals and were swept by the Golden State Warriors. Against Golden State – regular season and Playoffs – Love is 23-of-24 from the line.

“It’s always been a key to our team, it’s what we value most”.

Meanwhile, former James teammate Chris Bosh said that James’ next destination is likely to be Houston.

As the media waited to get into the locker room postgame, a stream of players exited before it was opened. He leaned back and slumped in his seat, the towel still covering his head, and sat that way for several minutes.

Cleveland star LeBron James – playing in his eighth straight NBA Finals – left the game with 4:03 remaining and his team trailing 102-77.

With these Warriors, anything seems possible, because the players, coaches, and front office continued to push for immortality, understanding that the barrier that separates success from failure becomes thinner every season. “I had emotions of, you just don’t get an opportunity like this on the road versus Golden State to be able to get a Game 1, and I let the emotions get the best of me”.
