CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Given his incredible playoff success, calling LeBron James a "hit man" in the postseason is applicable in so many ways.
In Game 1 of this first-round series with the Indiana Pacers, it meant "hitting" Paul George late in Cleveland's 109-108 victory to make him give up the ball instead of taking the last shot.
The Pacers had the ball out of bounds with 10.6 seconds left and got it to George. A dynamic scorer who lit up the Cavs for 43 points on April 2 and had 29 points already in this game, he was obviously a focal point for Cleveland's defense.
