How many times have we seen this from LeBron James? And how many times have defenders like James Harden opted against challenging The King at the rim?
Picking up where he left off in a masterful performance against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, LeBron is fully engaged and committed on both ends against the Houston Rockets. But Harden and his team aren’t backing down, matching Cleveland’s sheer strength and power with speed and skill on the other end.
James has 15 points and three rebounds midway through the second quarter, while Harden and Terrence Jones pace the Rockets with nine apiece. Cleveland leads Houston 40-36.
This one has the makings of a classic; we highly suggest tuning in.
