VIDEO: #GSW take #NBAFinals Game1 as LeBron James post record 51pts
LeBron James scored a record 51 points, 8 rebound and 8 assist
No one knows how to run a one-man show like LeBron James and no one breaks the records and rubbishes the numbers like Cavs star man.
As far as records go, LeBron James erupted for a historic stat line in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, becoming the first player ever to record 51 points, 8 assist and 8 rebounds.
Supporting cast Kevin Love added 21 points and 13 rebounds but their stats were not enough to give the Cavs victory as Golden State Warriors led by Steph Curry took Game 1 on home soil to set the Finals kicking.
Kevin Durant added 26 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assist in the Warriors 124 – 114 Game 1 victory. It was the first game of the series but it was decided in Over Time.
