LeBron Proves, Once Again, That He Refuses to Be Kept Out of the NBA Finals

LeBron James won’t settle for anything less than a shot at a championship. James is headed to his eighth straight Finals—and fourth straight with Cleveland—after the Cavaliers escaped Boston with 87–79 win in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Sunday. James played all 48 minutes in the contest, scoring 35 points while collecting 15 rebounds and dishing out nine assists. Jeff Green aided the Cavs’ effort with 19 points, while Jayson Tatum had 24 in a losing effort for the Celtics.

Game 7 was close if not particularly well executed. Both teams looked tight, and neither shot particularly well from the field.
