LeBron James never played better. It still wasn’t enough.
James became the youngest player to score 50 points in an NBA game, but his franchise-record 56 weren’t enough to prevent the Toronto Raptors from beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-98 on Sunday.
"I probably played the best game of my life but it means nothing when it comes with a loss," James said.
He easily surpassed his previous career best of 43 points, set Nov. 24 against Detroit. However, he committed a key turnover with 16 seconds left and missed a pair of 3-point attempts in the final 14 seconds.
James finished 18-for-36 from the field and 14-for-15 from the line. He also had six 3s, 10 rebounds and five assists. But Toronto’s bench did in the Cavaliers, outscoring Cleveland’s reserves 34-1. |
