CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James scored 45 points and got some needed help in Game 7 to stay unbeaten in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 105-101 win over the Indiana Pacers, who pushed the game's best player to the limit.

The Pacers were pegged as one of the NBA’s worst teams before the season began, but in the end they pushed the Cavaliers to seven games in an incredible series where Victor Oladipo cementer himself as a superstar. When it was all over game respected game and LeBron James pulled him aside and congratulated him on a series well played.

LeBron James and the Cavs are moving on after his incredible Game 7 against the Pacers.

The next film in the “Star Wars” anthology, “Solo,” will go inside the dystopian daily life faced by those living under the Empire; a life that gave rise to one of the most famous rebels of them all, Han Solo. The new featurette released by Lucasfilm on Sunday shows a gritty, hazy world, where rifle-touting Stormtroopers watch over huddled masses trudging their way through space ports. The sterility of the Empire’s ships in the original trilogy is nowhere to be seen, nor are the colorful realms of the prequels. Читать дальше...

His score of 7/10 has increased his already lofty rating, and aside from a bit of insanity in round 4 against Zviad Izoria he has played well and shown great resilience. In round 9 he was in serious trouble against Hikaru Nakamura, but held on grimly and saved the game, and then in round 10 he won a very impressive game - with Black - against Yaroslav Zherebukh.

Not this again.

With a minute to go in the third quarter and the Cavaliers up on the Pacers in Game 7 by two, LeBron James exited the game and went straight to the locker room with an athletic trainer. He had played every minute of the game up to that point, and the dreaded word associated with his playoff past had resurfaced.

Cramps.
