The young Portland Trailblazers seem to had taken the Cavs out of rhythm early, as they grabbed the lead at the end of the first quarter and maintained it for most of the game. But who would come through for the Cavs…Mr. 4th Quarter himself – Lebron James.
With under 5 seconds remaining in the game and the Cavs down by one (82-83), James managed to create some spacing for himself around a screen from Ilgauskas to get an inlet pass from the side. Roy Brandon recovered on the play and, with a seemingly good defensive stance, faced up with Lebron.
With one quick step, James had Roy on his hip, where he took him for a ride on the freight train straight to the basket.
James finished with 37 pts, 14 rebounds, and pulled the Cavs back in the game by knocking down three 3-pointers in the final minutes of the 4th quarter.
