Good morning. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James.

Good morning. Let’s basketball.

THAT JUST HAPPENED: In one of the weirdest games you’ll ever see, the Cavaliers emerged victorious 114-111 in overtime. They are up 3-0 and can close it down on Tuesday. No Kyrie Irving again, but to even things out a bit Al Horford got ejected just before halftime on a very controversial play with Matthew Dellavedova.

LeBron James started the game 0-10 as Atlanta tried to control him. He finished with 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. Paul Flannery writes that James proved he can still carry a dicey roster to the NBA Finals, provided he’s coming out of the East. LeBron James. LeBron James. LeBron James.

Mike Scott had a real boner of a play late, basically giving the Cavaliers the ball. Oof.

This is how weird the game was: Dellevedova joined LeBron on the podium. The Hawks sent Kent Bazemore and Shelvin Mack to the podium. What a world.

OOF EPISODE 1 THE PREQUEL: Tristan Thompson busted Timofey Mozgov’s nose in warmups. Tristan Thompson is Timofey Mozgov’s teammate.

HEY THERE: Acrobat chihuahua.

WARRIORS AT ROCKETS GAME 4, 6 PM ET, ESPN, GOLDEN STATE LEADS 3-0

FROM CONFIDENT TO COCKY: I wrote about how Stephen Curry’s image and on-court attitude are changing, and what that means for how we see him. Basically, he’s turning fan bases against him one city at a time.

STINGY: How the Warriors’ defense shut down James Harden in Game 3.

YEP: The Warriors are more AWESOME than they are LUCKY.

YES: The NBA on TNT crew knows how to party.

LONG LIVE FESTUS: A wonderful story by Jeff Faraudo on Festus Ezeli’s path to the NBA, something that’s been the subject of jokes and/or disbelief as it gets brought up during Warriors games. Ezeli might be the smartest man in the NBA, truth be told. He went to Vanderbilt to study biology and play basketball because he didn’t want to go to Harvard (who’d offered him a scholarship) and Vandy was the only compromise his mother would accept.

Happy Memorial Day. See you next time.
