Cavaliers lose Game 5 despite LeBron James' 41 points
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James' 41 points weren't enough as the Cavs fell to the Golden State Warriors 4-1 in the NBA Finals following a 129-120 Game 5 loss.
Even with one more year on his contract before his player option hits, the offseason NBA talk will almost surely center around what James will do next. The Cavs are already spending the most money in the league and barring a big roster shake up with some trades this summer, the Cavs will be returning basically the same roster next year.
James was spectacular during the postseason with averages of 32.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 blocks over 41.3 minutes per game. He posted a 62.2 effective field goal percentage over 18 playoff games.
