This year, the Cleveland Cavaliers continued their annual ritual of struggling during the regular season. Turmoil has come to mark the Cavs, in their 2014-present era. Coming into this season, it was different, as Kyrie Irving left, during the offseason.
Coming into this postseason, the Cavs landed the fourth seed, which drew them the Indiana Pacers. This is the first time the Cavs finished out of the top two, since 2015. In Game 1, Victor Oladipo led Indiana to a blowout win over Cleveland.
Game 2 was a different story, as Playoff LeBron showed up, and made sure Cleveland won. In the end, the game was close, as Indiana mounted a late-game rally. But, LeBron’s 46 points stopped that, and he talked about this, plus the Pacers’ comeback, and his own play, during the post-game interview.
