RadioOnFire.com - The Pacers left the Cavaliers battered, bruised, and looking highly beatable for the final game of their Eastern Conference series following Indiana's 121-87 blowout victory over Cleveland on Friday night, April 27. Even LeBron James wound up heading home with a bump or two; one of which caused blood to stream from the King's eyebrow.
All eyes were on the level of ball Victor Oladipo was playing at for most of the first half, but the 18 points he'd rack up by the midway point got overshadowed once James took an elbow to the face from Thaddeus Young in the second quarter's final minutes.
James had been driving the baseline on the way to the basket, but with little room to work with in his attempt to get in front of the backboard, James wound up kicking the ball out. Just as he was releasing the pass, Young was coming down from trying to deflect it. That's when James got injured.
James wound up descending to a knee and then laying back on the hardwood. The Cavs' trainers then hurried out to tend to the franchise great, and within minutes he was back on his feet and ready to head back out to complete his 22 point performance.
