CLEVELAND — Following the biggest rout in Cleveland Cavaliers franchise playoff history, a 116-78 victory over the Toronto Raptors in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday, LeBron James said his easy mood going into the game reflected the outcome.
“I’ve been a part of some really adverse situations,” James said after putting up 23 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, “and I just didn’t believe that this was one of them.”
James, speaking to reporters from the postgame podium, was responding to a question about him saying he had a “sense of calmness” at shootaround earlier that day.
“It’s just been very calm about the whole situation, understanding that our guys knew what we did and what we didn’t accomplish in Toronto. I’m not taking away from the fact how big of a game this was because it is — it’s a Game 5 on our home color and the series [was] tied 2-2.
