Game 4: The Sleeping Giant Has Been Awoken!
If Game 3's loss against Chicago was a wake-up call, the Cavs came out in Game 4 to prove a point. This is the playoffs after all and every game is another challenge not to be taken lightly. Up until Game 4, call it rust if you will, but the Cavs didn't appear to have that "Championship Swagger". Well folks, on Saturday guess who got that swagg back?!
In defense of the Bulls, they hung with the Cavs for 1.5 quarters, but then it seemed like the Cavs shifted to another gear, punctuated by a half court jump shot 3 by LeBron before the 3rd quarter buzzer. Yes, you read that right. I said "half-court jump shot". See here...

Before the game, Antwan Jamison was asking LeBron about his pregame face. He mentioned that the look on LeBron's face was "scary". LeBron went on to say that this is serious and it's time to get down to business. He would not let his team lose this game.
Indeed LeBron took it to another level yesterday. He wasn't about to let the Bulls tie the series up. LeBron finished with a game in which could probably be up there among his all-time playoff greats: 37 pts, 12 reb, 11 ast, in route to his 5th career playoff triple-double.
The NBA playoffs. Where AMAZING Happens!
The Cavs look to close it out at home. Next game is scheduled on Tuesday at 8pm on TNT.
