After putting up 28 points, 12 rebounds and
eight assists to extend the Los Angeles Lakers' lead over the
Miami Heat to 3-1 in the NBA Finals on Tuesday, James said he
relishes time spent fine-tuning his game - even under the
pressure of a championship series.
"I'm excited about our meeting tomorrow watching film and
breaking that down and seeing things that we can do better,"
James, 35, told reporters after the 102-96 win.
"Seeing things that we did do well. Thinking about the
adjustments that they possibly or will do, because I know (Heat
head coach Erik Spoelstra) going into Game 5.
"That's the best part about it. It's a chess match."
James has plenty of talent to rely for his 54th NBA Finals game,
including 27-year-old Anthony Davis, who has shined throughout
the best-of-seven series, averaging 25.8 points per game and
emerging as a true contender for the MVP title.
"His ability to play one through five, guard anybody on the
floor, take the challenge, not only guard on the perimeter,
continue to protect the paint. Guards drive on him. It's hard to
score on him," said James.
The Lakers take on the Heat on Friday.
