James put up another valiant, stat-sheet-busting effort, but it ultimately
wasn’t enough on a night when Kevin Durant was just a bit better. James also
dealt with some physical challenges, as he appeared to roll his ankle in the
first half. However, he ultimately spent just one minute off the floor during
the entirety of the contest, and has sat for just four minutes total over the
first three games. With the Cavaliers’ season on the line in Friday’s Game 4, a
full 48-minute workload isn’t out of the question for the perennial All-Star,
who’s averaging 37.7 points, 10.7 assists, 9.0 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.0
blocks thus far in the series.
