LeBron James has never lost the first two games of an playoff series and the Cleveland Cavaliers su-perstar doesn’t plan to start against Golden State in the NBA Finals.
James has nine consecutive game-two wins after his teams have lost the opener of a playoff series and the Cavaliers test that streak Sunday after losing to the defending champion Warriors 104-89 on Thursday.
“I’m not discouraged at all,” James said Friday after analysing video of the defeat. “We had some opportunities. We played some good basketball for 36 minutes.
“We definitely missed some really easy looks, some looks we’re accustomed to making, that we’ve made all year. We were able to get where we wanted to go. We’ve just got to knock them home.”
James had no explanation for his success in bouncing back from game one defeats. “I’ve been part of some resilient teams,” James said.
“My team has always been able to recalibrate, look at the mistakes in Game One and come up with a better plan in Game Two.”
The Warriors will look to snap James’ streak on Sunday and seize a 2-0 edge in the best-of-seven series before the scene shifts to Cleveland.
