LeBron James had 18 points in the third quarter of the Cavaliers' 108-102 victory on Friday night and said that it was because he simply had to respond to the wise words of James Jones.
CLEVELAND— James Jones scored just three points in the Cavs victory on Friday night, but it could be argued that he was responsible for plenty more than appeared in the box score.
After the Cavs let a double-digit lead slip into a one-point deficit heading into the half, Jones entered the locker room and immediately voiced his disapproval.
“We were just in the motions in the first half and not playing smart basketball,” LeBron James said.
