Injured LeBron Help Cavs To Eliminate Bulls in 5

The KING (LeBron James) pulled his right arm tightly to his chest, incapable to do anything but frown as the final seconds expired on Cleveland’s series-clinching win.

The Chicago Bulls were lastly out of the way. However, for the Cavaliers, touching on in the NBA playoffs wasn’t pain free.

LeBron playing regardless of his right elbow injury that went numb and forced him to shoot a free throw with his left hand in the dying seconds, just missed a triple-double as the Cavs advanced to a playoff date with Boston by beating Chicago 96-94 in Game 5 on Tuesday night in possibly Vinny Del Negro’s final game as Bulls coach.

Despite of the injury James scored 19 points – 16 in the second half – added 10 rebounds and contribute 9 assist as the Cavs finally burden the obstinate Bulls to end the series 4-1. After making single free throw, James then lifted and missed the second with his left with 7.8 seconds remaining and the Cavs only ahead by four.

LeBron James doesn’t know when he injured the elbow, which he said troubled him the entire second half. He exposed after the game that he underwent an MRI and X-rays two days ago.

“It troubles me because I don’t know what it is,” James said. “Hopefully it doesn’t continue to burden me. But I’m not worried. There’s nothing to worry about for the fans. No reason to panic. I don’t mind it’s that serious.”
