#4 The Cavs role players are on a roll

Indiana Pacers v Cleveland Cavaliers - Game Seven
LeBron James and Kyle Korver

Boy, have the Cavs role players stepped up. For the first time in quite a while, every starter scored in double digits. James, of course, led the way with 29 but got a whole lot of help, as the rest of the starters scored 66 points. George Hill led the early charge, scoring 6 of the 1st 10 points for Cleveland and they never looked back after the midway point of the 2nd quarter.

The talk throughout the Indiana series was how James has little to no help and that this was definitely going to be the year that he fails to get to the Finals. It's safe to say the narrative has flipped now.

To be honest the only way for the Cavs role players to go was up as it's hard for me to believe they could have been worse than they were against Indiana. That said, I didn't see them playing as well as they have done. If this keeps up they will have little to no trouble in the Conference Finals.
