![]() Not long after that, though, James was draining two Back Bay-breaking 3-pointers on consecutive trips, burning young Celtics forward Jayson Tatum both times from deep on the left wing. “I was just hoping for the best, obviously, because I’ve seen so many different injuries, and watching basketball with that type of injury, someone fall into one’s leg standing straight up.” “I felt some pain throughout my entire right side of my ankle into my leg,” said James, who seems to go through more histrionics and drama than the average player when he gets clobbered, without enduring the same level of injury. But after a few tentative, anxious moments both for him and the folks in the arena, James was back to moving, pivoting and launching as if nothing had happened. James went down as if shot early in the fourth, his team up 89-82 teammate Larry Nance fell into the future Hall of Famer’s right leg. He also had three steals and one blocked shot, racing back in the third quarter to deny Boston’s greyhound guard Terry Rozier after finishing a Cavs fast break an instant before. James’ stats line was one of those gaudy/ordinary types he has spoiled his team and NBA fans with for so many years: 46 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. The Cavs had pushed this home-dominant series to its max, with Game 7 at Boston’s TD Garden Sunday (8:30 p.m. When James exited for good, his work was done. They were less hurried, less nervous and absolutely earned, coming as they did at the very end. “It’s just the way we’ve been playing, and we’ve been succeeding with it. “Our team is built on me being out on the floor to be able to make plays, not only for myself but make plays for others,” James said. Then promptly subbed back in for the fourth. With what was left of the third on the game clock and how it played out, followed by the break between quarters, the Cavaliers’ star got about five minutes in real time to catch his breath. But it’s not what our team is built on right now,” James said after yet another remarkable performance to keep the Cavs’ postseason alive. “Obviously I get a minute, couple minutes here per quarter, would be great. Heck, given James’ possible departure in free agency this summer, the air might have been gone for good. If the air went out of Cleveland’s balloon at Quicken Loans Arena, it was going to be out for months. That’s about all he gets this time of year, when subbing James out of the game too often is like the Cavaliers loosening their grip on a balloon they’re blowing up but have yet to tie off. James took his seat with the idea of resting as much as he could, as quickly as he could. ![]() We know James is working for next season, but he’s clearly making sure he has time to enjoy the fruits of his labor too.CLEVELAND – The first 57 seconds came near the end of the third quarter, LeBron James finally heading over to the Cleveland Cavaliers’ bench after logging 35 minutes – 35:03, as long as we’re counting – of intense, frantic, backs-against-the-wall elimination basketball against the Boston Celtics in Friday’s Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. He was also putting down some very expensive wine and making sure everybody saw it.
