Victor Oladipo was the star of the Eastern Conference first-round series as he played the game of his life despite Indiana Pacers losing Game 7 to LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers.
With over 20,000 fans at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena vehemently and vociferously aligned against them, they Pacers put on a brilliant show.
Although Cavs won the game by 105 – 101 with LeBron posting breathtaking figures, it was Oladipo’s display that caught the eye.
LeBron finished the game with 45 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assist and 4 steal to become the first player in NBA history to reach those numbers in a Game 7.
