LeBron James struggled for much of Game 3 vs. the Golden State Warriors despite how well his team played. He couldn't find his jumper until late in the third, missed at the rim repeatedly vs. the smart Warriors defense, and overall looked like his effort was exceeding his performance.
But he did find that jumper, helped the Cavaliers create their biggest lead of the game, and on one sequence, snuffed a Steph Curry possession, chased down the loose ball, and then rose up off a Kyrie Irving lob to annihilate the rim. He smited the iron.
James' energy couldn't be faulted in Game 3, but his performance was still over the map. Still, it's good to see that the King can still get this high up for huge plays on the biggest stage.
