James scored 39 points, hopped Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the career playoff scoring list and pushed the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 125-103 blowout over the Toronto Raptors in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
James (5.777 points) now only trails Michael Jordan (5.987), the player to whom he has been compared since he was a teenager, for the most points in postseason history.
The Raptors didn’t start Lithuanian big man Jonas Valanciunas, but he led them with 23 points. Spaniard Serge Ibaka added 16 points and Austrian Jakob Poeltl had 2.
