Game 2: Indiana Pacers 97-100 Cleveland Cavaliers - 5 Talking Points

#1 LeBron James was at his aggressive best

James was unstoppable on his way to 46 points

James, as asked to by coach Ty Lue, was aggressive right from tip-off. When he's in that sort of mood, there is literally no way to stop the guy from buying a bucket without getting T'ed up.

James scored the first 16 points for the Cavaliers in a whirlwind 7-8 shooting run during the first 6 minutes of the first quarter. He scored on both the right wing and the left - there was a particularly delicious sequence with Thaddeus Young guarding him, in which LeBron shot an 18-foot fadeaway jumper.

He threw in a three each from the left and right wings, and finished the first quarter with 20 points in the bag as the Cavs went into the first quarter break with a 33-18 advantage. At one point on his run, the Cavaliers led by 13-0, and the Pacers were only able to open their account from the free throw line.

Later on, in the 4th quarter, LeBron went back to isolation plays. He got Sabonis to commit a flagrant foul, while the likes of Stephenson and Turner were unable to do anything about his jump shooting.

He finished with a staggering stat line of 46 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals on 17-of-24 shooting from the field and 2-of-5 from downtown
