Apparently, he was referring to his deeper range.
James let it rip in the second quarter, sinking a 3-pointer on four straight
possessions as the Cavaliers opened a 62-42 lead.
Following his steal, James drained a 3-pointer from the right wing with 4:20
left in the half to make it 53-38. Just 26 seconds later, he knocked one down
from the left side. On Cleveland's next possession, he pulled up in Nachbar's
face from the top of the key, sinking another 3 and sending the sellout crowd of
20,562 into a frenzy.
Following a timeout, James chuckled as he went back onto the floor and
quickly hit his fifth 3-pointer of the half. As he retreated on defense, the
20-year-old blew on his hand like a gunslinger cooling off his hot hand.
Early in the third quarter, James dropped his sixth consecutive 3 to make it
72-47, and after making a conventional three-point play, he sat out the final
3:22 of the period with the Cavs comfortably ahead.
