LeBron James left the third quarter of the Cavs game versus the Brooklyn Nets after colliding with Nets center Tyler Zeller. The blow required stitches to close the gash above LeBron's lip. But when James returned in the fourth quarter, he came back with a vengeance. LeBron scored 23 points in the fourth quarter raining in a consecutive 18 points after the 4:25 mark. During his onslaught, LeBron went 6-6 from the floor including two deep threes.
LeBron was challenged by his coach Tyronn Lue for playing lackadaisical early. At one point during the contest, LeBron missed a wide open windmill dunk off of a steal. Lue didn't mix words about LeBron's level of play at the start of the game stating, "He was messing around. I told him at halftime, 'You messing around.' He got a little upset, and that's good. Get hit again." The hit ignited a dominant performance from James who has been on a tear lately as the Cavs have begun to tally up more wins.
