LeBron James is putting the Heat on his back in Game 5

LeBron James had a doozy of a first quarter.

A doozy of a first quarter punctuated by this chase-down block on Patty Mills.

Coupled with 12 points for 4 of 5 shooting at one point, according to ESPN Stats & Info, James has made it clear that, left up to him, this year’s Final series is NOT ENDING TONIGHT. A team has never overcome a 3-1 series deficit in the NBA Finals? WHO CARES?

UPDATE: After a lengthy scoreless run, LeBron dropped this long distance 3-pointer over Patty Mills.

There’s nothing you could’ve done about that one, Patty.
