CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers public relations department comes up with a playoff theme each year.
There has been Rise Up, All In, and Defend the Land in the past few years. This year the motto is Whatever It Takes.
LeBron James came out with that mentality on Wednesday night at Quicken Loans Arena and turned into a scoring machine the Indiana Pacers couldn’t contain.
James scored the first 13 points of the game and finished with 46 to lead the Cavs to a 100-97 victory in Game 2 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round series.
The series is even at 1-1 with Game 3 in Indiana on Friday night.
