The biggest difference from the Staples Center here is:
The court overhead didn't have as many championship banners.
LeBron hence heard a sour jest among the reporters, "There's no performance to speak of, but off-court disputes arise every year. The Cavaliers really are down and out!"
This statement was undoubtedly a double denial of his "Chosen One" identity and of being the "City Son" of Cleveland.
He couldn't help but want to ask, "How did I even end up in this situation?"
What distressed him even more was that tonight, Gibson, who had just regained the right to control the ball, had fully revived. Although he himself had scored only 15 points, he provided 10 assists that helped Channing Fleay and "Ah Q" score a total of seven three-point shots tonight.
This brilliant display of team coordination capability was undoubtedly a new highlight for Gibson.
After the game, Gibson high-fived with Shaquille O'Neal.
