LeBron James and the Cavs went big the night before Game 1 of the NBA Finals -- teaming up for a big dinner at a famous S.F. steakhouse ... TMZ Sports has learned.
The team hit up EPIC Steak -- the same place SF Giants star Hunter Pence had his crazy "Game of Thrones" themed wedding last year.
James and the rest of the team ate like kings -- feasting on steak, shrimp, meatballs, crab rolls and wild striped bass.
We're told some of the players had wine to compliment the meal -- but don't freak out, no one got even remotely close to being lit.
