LeBron James managed to carry the patchwork Cleveland Cavaliers out of the Eastern Conference and into another NBA Finals. The Golden State Warriors similarly overcame adversity in the West, surviving a 3-2 deficit and winning Game 7 on the road against the Houston Rockets in order to advance.For optimal analysis of this matchup, you need to see what SportsLine senior analyst Larry Hartstein has to say. The veteran NBA handicapper has built on another winning season with a standout 23-13 mark against the spread in his postseason selections.
Over the course of 53 minutes of basketball on Thursday night, LeBron James painted another masterpiece, one of his finest. LeBron played all but five of those 53 minutes. He scored an incredible 51 points on 32 shots -- an NBA Finals record for a losing team. He made clutch threes. He made all but one free throw. He only turned the ball over five times, which is stunning considering how much the ball was in his hands. He played the type of game that could be cited as another piece of evidence in a debate a decade or two from now about why LeBron is in fact the greatest basketball player of all time.
