History was made, this afternoon, but not the kind of history that usually is associated with LeBron James. After a rough end to another up-and-down season, LeBron found himself playing as a four seed for the first time, since his 2006 debut. But, he didn’t have the Wizards to beat up.
Instead, the Cleveland Cavaliers drew the Indiana Pacers, a scrappy and energetic team, led by Victor Oladipo. Early on, the Pacers jumped out to a big lead that they never let go of. Even with LeBron James, on the floor, Lance Stephenson did enough to keep him out of it.
Following the blowout loss, LeBron James talked to the media about the game. First, he spoke on his first Game 1 first round loss, as he wasn’t aware this was the first time it happened. Then, he explained what went wrong, mostly his team missing shots, as he said their defense held Indiana to 98 points.
