LeBron James put on a show in Game 2 against the Toronto Raptors, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 128-110 victory by putting up 43 points and 14 assists. He was particularly dominant in the second half, when he scored or assisted on 45 of the Cavaliers' 67 points, nearly accounting for more points than the entire Raptors team (47).
It wasn't just fans who were impressed with James' record-setting fourth career 40-point, 10-assist postseason game. His NBA peers were left searching for words to describe another epic performance.
@KingJames Sheesh🤦🏾♂️

Tough shots down the stretch by bro. Game 1 at home makes this one hurt that much more. Leading for the entire regulation. Always wondered how bron hits the highly degree of difficulty/contested fadeaways but struggles at the line when it's uncontested
