GAME. BLOUSES.
It is so good to be king! Or in this case, LeBron James, who managed to surpass Kobe Bryant on the all-time playoffs scoring list (5,669) on the same night he single-handedly brought the Cleveland Cavaliers back from a 26-point deficit against the Indiana Pacers.
Without Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love playing a single minute in the fourth quarter, James managed to lift the Cavaliers to a 119-114 victory, finishing the night with 41 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists en route to Cleveland overcoming an NBA postseason record 25-point halftime deficit (the Cavaliers trailed by 26 points in the third quarter).
The Baltimore Bullets overcame a 21-point deficit against the Philadelphia Warriors in 1948.
The Cavs now lead the series 3-0, and James now trails only Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the all-time playoffs scoring list. With his 20th consecutive win in the first round, he also tied Magic Johnson, Michael Cooper and James Worthy for most consecutive first-round victories.

28 pts, 6 rebs, 7 asts, 0 to. No Cav outside of LeBron has ever done that in a playoff game. LeBron just did that in the second HALF.
