Huge credit to Luke Kennard and Marcus Smart. They knew how to hold the game together in those minutes without LeBron: they played with intensity, were aggressive, and stepped up when it was needed most. 27-4-3 for Kennard 15-2-8 for Smart Role players worth their weight in GOLD.
LeBron had 19 points , 8, rebs and 13 assists, with 2 steals and a block and people still find a way to hate that’s just crazy
