Cavaliers' LeBron James: Scores team-high 24 in Game 3 loss

James scored a team-high 24 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's Game 3 loss to the Raptors.

Analysis:

The Raptors defense did a good job keeping James on the perimeter for the most part, but he was still able to muscle his way into the paint often enough to score at least 20 points for the 11th time in 11 games this postseason. He also earned the wrath of the Toronto crowd and the scorn of social media with some truly outrageous dives and flops, including one after being accidentally elbowed by teammate Tristan Thompson, and it's possible the league instructs the refs to clamp down on James' act going forward. Either way, expect him to come out firing Monday for Game 4 after the Cavaliers suffered their first loss of the postseason.
