Lebron James - Mr. Fourth Quarter does it again

Lebron James is the self-proclaimed "Mr. Fourth Quarter" but nobody can deny the fact that King delivers wherever he goes. He was required with 33.6 second left against the champion San Antonio Spurs and he answered the call as he has been doing throughout his career.

The shot led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 90-88 win against their last year NBA Final rivals. A much needed win which should set them back on the track they followed last year which ended at the NBA finals.

The Cavs had Tony Parker to thank for his two crucial missed free throws with 29.4 left on the clock. Manu Ginobili had a shot in the dying seconds and James and the Cavaliers would have breathed a sigh of relief with the missed shot as that would have taken them to a fourth overtime in 3 games.

The Cavs played well defensively and that was the difference in the end. It is important to remember that the San Antonio Spurs swept the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals last year. The Cavs are now on a 3-win streak and would like to continue the good work ahead. They are a championship team and its about time they come to the party.
