LeBron James Has Gone from Dominant to Officially Toying with the Competition

CLEVELAND—There's an adage thrown around the Cleveland Cavaliers, one that can predict their wins and losses without having even watched a minute of the game.

Did LeBron play well?

It's a joke by nature, but one that carries a tremendous amount of truth.

In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Toronto Raptors, yes, LeBron Raymone James did play well.

Cleveland blew out Toronto 116-105 in a game where the Cavs lead swelled to as many as 25. James finished with 35 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and shot 56.
