James shows he is still king
CLEVELAND — LeBron James chose Boston as the place he’ll play next.
Game 7 is on. And any talk about James’ future is on hold.
James scored 46 points and preserved his reign atop the Eastern Conference for at least one more game as the Cavaliers shook off losing All-Star Kevin Love with a head injury and beat Boston 109-99 on Friday night to force a decisive climax to this back-and-forth series.
James, playing in perhaps his final game for the Cavs in Cleveland, delivered another sensational performance — he added 11 rebounds and nine assists while playing all but two minutes — to avoid elimination and delay any decisions about where he’ll continue his remarkable career next season.
