INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) – LeBron James stayed on the floor after practice to go over plays with Cleveland’s coaches and work on his post-up game. He knows what’s ahead.
With just a handful of games left in the regular season, James and the Cavaliers are slowly shifting into playoff mode. They’ve got a key matchup on Thursday with Miami, a potential first-round opponent, before facing Chicago on Sunday.
Cavs coach David Blatt gave his players the past two days off to clear their minds and rest their bodies.
James said the break was beneficial and that he and his teammates came back ”really sharp.”
Forward Kevin Love, who has been bothered by a back issue most of the season, said the time off helped. However, Blatt said Love did not take part in any contact during practice and will be a game-time decision against the Heat.
