NBA Playoffs 2018: Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Game 7, Live Scores & Updates

It was tough but LeBron James led the Cleveland Cavaliers past the Indiana Pacers in 7 Games!

He averaged mammoth numbers in the series, a near triple-double, to carry a shorthanded Cavaliers in the Conference Semifinals. In the next round, James and Cleveland face a familiar foe in the Toronto Raptors, a team whose number they have had in recent years. This has been an extremely grueling series but the Cavaliers don't have a lot of time to recharge as they get back to work on Tuesday night in Toronto.

Stay tuned to our live coverage of the 2018 NBA Playoffs on Sportskeeda tomorrow when the Boston Celtics take on the Philadelphia 76ers. This is me, Yash Matange signing off. Cheers!
