The Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 105-103 at Quicken Loans Arena on Saturday, as Cleveland’s four-time MVP nailed his second buzzer-beating game-winner of the 2018 playoffs.
With the score tied at 103 and eight seconds remaining, Cleveland used its final timeout to set up the last possession of regulation. Inbounding from under their own basket, the Cavaliers opted to give James a full head of steam running up the court at the Raptors’ defense.
James, who was shadowed by rookie OG Anunoby on the play, drove to the left side of the court, crossing over from right to left to turn the corner towards the baseline.
