LeBron James is doing everything for the Cavaliers these playoffs.
That includes another big night in Game 3 — 38 points, seven assists, six rebounds — he had his second buzzer-beater game-winner of the playoffs, this one as time expired Saturday night, a ridiculous contested running bank shot.
The shot has the Cavaliers up 3-0 on a scrappy Raptors team that did not fold on the road down two games, or when they were down in this game by double digits. It just doesn’t matter when LeBron can hit shots like that. How does he even consider or trust a shot like that?

LeBron James on Cavaliers' final possession: "I had more than enough time to get the ball from one baseline to the other... When do I decide what shot to take? To be honest, sometimes I really don't know but I trust every shot I'm going to take because I work on every shot." pic.twitter.com/vkmBGFiE3E

LeBron James on his game-winner: "I live for those moments. That mental clock, of being a kid, 3-2-1, making the noise of the net. I've been doing that since I was 6, 7, 8. Maybe even before that. There's a picture floating around besides a Little Tykes hoop, saggy pants Bron" pic.twitter.com/tab8vEBZER
