Nearly single-handedly leading the Cavaliers to a 98-95 victory over the Pacers on Wednesday, James hit a buzzer-beater to end Indiana's late run.

James scored a game-high 44 points on 14-of-24 shooting with 10 rebounds and eight assists to give the Cavs a 3-2 series lead.

James has been Cleveland's savior all series as his teammates have struggled to find their playoff form. Kyle Korver scored 19 points Wednesday, and Kevin Love 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Domantas Sabonis powered the Pacers with 22 points and five rebounds from the bench. After getting outscored by 15 points in the third quarter, Indiana tied the game with under 30 seconds left in the game, but were unable to finish the comeback.

James and the Cavs are now one game away from winning the series, but he needs more help offensively to lead the Cavs to their fourth straight NBA Finals.
