“I've always had the mindset that in a close-out game for me personally, I'm just as desperate as the team that we are trying to close out,” James said. "I don't want to play another game. And if we are in a position where we can win that game, that's just my mindset. Does it always go that route? No, because I'm not undefeated in close-out games.
It just wasn’t the triple-double, which leaves him three shy of tying Magic Johnson for the most in playoff history, it was the manner in which he seized control of the game.
