The Cleveland Cavaliers are fighting for their playoff lives against the pesky Indiana Pacers in Round 1.
LeBron James is trying to lead his team to an 8th consecutive NBA Finals (4th with the Cavaliers) despite having the worst supporting cast that he has had since his first stint as a Cavalier.
He had another top-notch performance on Sunday night to lead the Cavaliers to a 104-100 victory in Indiana, scoring 32 points to go along with 13 rebounds and seven assists.
The 30 point performance (his 3rd in four games this postseason) was the 100th in his illustrious postseason career.
Along with tying the Cavaliers' series against the Pacers 2-2, @KingJames became the 2nd player in NBA history with 100 30-point games in NBA playoff history.

If the Cavaliers want to make a deep playoff run, LeBron may have to pass Jordan’s record of 109 30-point playoff games this postseason as the team is relying upon him as much as ever in his 15th NBA season.
LeBron also moved to 6th on the all-time playoff games list on Sunday…

He could pass Tony Parker and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and move to 4th on this list by the time the 2018 NBA Playoffs are over as well.
Game 5 of the Cavaliers-Pacers series is Wednesday night in Cleveland.
