Stat line: 33 points, 9 rebounds and 14 assists with a +/- of +13

In a game decided by the slightest of margins at the end, the enduring quality of LeBron James shone through as the Cavaliers emerged with a 119-115 win, although the game-winning play at the end of the game was made by rookie forward Cedi Osman who stole the ball off a pass from John Wall.

LeBron's 33 points came on highly efficient 12 of 20 shooting from the field, while he also converted 7 free throw attempts to push the Cavs over the line. Most of his impact came in the 4th quarter, as he scored 14 points in that period to lead the Cavs on a comeback win in a game they were trailing by as many as 17 points.
