LeBron James was instrumental for Cleveland Cavs once again
James was the star of the show once again tonight as he played a key role in his side’s 123-114 win over Atlanta Hawks.
The 32-year-old weighed in with 25 points off just 11-13 shooting and is scoring at an extraordinary rate, more so than during his days with Miami Heat.
He also notched up 17 assists in the victory - a joint career-high, as the Cavs recorded their ninth straight win at home.
Although James has been prolific, he reckons he’s just an “efficient” player, something he claims hasn't changed from his time with the Heat.

“I am an efficient player. I’ve never liked being a volume shooter.
“That’s not my game. I’ve always been efficient and you have to put in the work.
“I’ve always put in the work.”
