Who saw this coming? With three games down in each of the Eastern Conference semifinals series, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics both lead 3-0 against their favored opponents. The Cavs have built their lead largely because of LeBron James.
LeBron, 33, has been the best player on the court. Saturday night, he knocked down yet another game-winner. He drove the length of the court and hit an incredibly difficult runner — off the glass! — to give Cleveland a 105-103 win against Toronto.
