Game 6: Cleveland Cavaliers 87-121 Indiana Pacers - 5 Talking Points

#2 Quiet game by LeBron James

LeBron James

Cleveland needs a huge game from LeBron James to just be competitive this series. Their three wins too where he stuffed the stat sheet, they've been extremely lucky, because it seemed like Pacers lost the plot in two of those three games.

Anyways, James still put up team-leading numbers but it just wasn't enough. He sat close to five minutes in the first half and the entire fourth quarter (31 minutes) and still had 22 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks and a steal on 7-of-16 shooting. He knocked down a couple of long 3s in the third quarter, looking to start a comeback but against a relentless Pacers offense, he just couldn't do it alone tonight.

Each of their wins, or the games where they have been competitive, it's been one quarter where James and the Cavaliers absolutely dominate, take a huge lead and just hang on to it.

There was just no energy in this game.
