The Cleveland Cavaliers came out on fire in game four. After three tough losses to start the 2017 NBA Finals, the Cavs did not want to be embarrassed on their home court in a sweep.

James has been phenomenal all series long and that was just the latest representation of his stellar play. A play immortalized by the likes of Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant got an upgrade by the King doing it on the biggest stage.
