LeBron James won Game 2 thanks to the power of yoga

Forget the air conditioner, what about some soul conditioner ... man.

LeBron James bounced back in Game 2. Not only did he avoid cramps, James flourished in San Antonio. People are trying to justify the return to form on Monday and perhaps the Heat star has yoga to thank.

James told USA TODAY that he shook things up before Game 2, altering his pre-game routine to include some karmic alignment.

“One thing I did do differently this morning, I took an 8 a.m. yoga class at our resort that we stayed at outside,” he said. “Me and three other people and also a little kid, but he didn’t want no part of it.”

Nothing like a little early-morning yoga to get your head straight. Perhaps a career as a yogi exists for LeBron whenever he decides to hang it up. We can picture it now.
