LeBron James acted like a super hero on Wednesday night to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 98-95 win over the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Playoffs.
First, he blocked a Victor Oladipo shot near the basket to preserve a 95-95 tie. Next, he drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Cavs a 3-2 lead in the series.
The block:
