No Sengun, but still a good win. I have to hand it to LeBron, he is really adapting himself to being the 3rd scoring option and excelling at playmaking, team coverages and call outs, and rebounding. Whatever people want to hate on him for, he is the most versatile player we have ever seen. He listened to the criticism and saw the poor numbers, and took a step back to let the team get a flow. If this continues, they can get to the 2nd round but probably no further than that.
