LeBron James wasn't happy with his efficiency in Game 1, as the four-time league MVP shot 9-for-22 in the Cavaliers' 99-92 home loss to the Bulls.

So directing an offense without the services of Kevin Love and JR Smith, James took it upon himself to be more assertive, attacking the rim at will and finishing with - as he wanted - much more efficiency.

The end result was 33 points, and while he needed 29 shots to get there, 11 of his made field goals came in the paint.
