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?

The Cavaliers can close out the series with a sweep on Monday night.
