Each step seemed a chal- lenge. His eyes were heavy. He ached from head to toe. He wanted to lie down. James was moving on to the second round of the NBA play- offs — almost on his hands and knees. “I don’t think he’s appre- ciated enough for just how much energy he puts into every single game to do what he does,” Cavaliers forward Kyle Korver said of James. “It’s just unbelievable.” Pushed to his physical limits by the Indiana Pacers, and barely helped by Cleveland teammates until they fi nally showed up when it mattered most Sunday in a 105-101 win, C M James willed the Cavs into Y K the next round, where they’ll face the top-seeded Toronto Raptors for the third straight postseason.
