There aren’t many players in the world that can hijack a Game 1 blowout loss simply by flexing their steel trap of a memory. Then again, there aren’t many folks out there like LeBron James.

After Sunday’s 108-83 loss to the Boston Celtics, James was asked by a reporter what, exactly, happened during a 7-0 fourth-quarter run by Boston, one that put the game out of reach for the Cavaliers and quickly sent James to the bench for the evening.
