The Toronto Raptors have had to endure the wrath of LeBron James in the playoffs now three seasons in a row. This year, in particular, seems to be more painful than the rest.
After clawing back from a 17-point deficit and tying Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals in the final minute, the Raptors held a glimmer of hope. They were on the brink of squeaking out a win on the road, much like the Cavaliers in Game 1. Enter King James, with only eight seconds left.

That shot looks tough, and, it is. Leave it to NBA Twitter to quantify how difficult LeBron’s game-winner was.
Tough shot. Makes it look easy….

Cleveland takes a massive 3-0 lead over the top-seeded Raptors, a scenario few people envisioned at the beginning of the series. The series has seemingly been an opportunity for James to showcase his greatness. It does not go unrecognized, and the Pacer understand this too.
