Hezonja is still adapting to his ‘ridiculous’ post-LeBron-block world

TORONTO — St. Patrick’s Day hero Mario Hezonja had one idea flash through his mind when LeBron James got the ball in the backcourt with 15 seconds left and the game on the line. The moment almost got to him.

“I had a couple of thoughts,’’ Hezonja said. “Holy sh-t. I’m in the Garden in New York and I’m not even from here and I’m picking up LeBron James full court. After that, it was just locked in on what he was going to do but, that was my first thought. I was on him the whole game so I didn’t really realize [until] everyone’s on their feet and I’m the only one.
