It's a strategy he's used all season when double-teamed - he finds the open man. Nine times out of 10, James will find the weakness in the defense.
However, in this best-of-seven series, the Cavaliers find themselves down, 2-0, because those players he's finding - Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Larry Hughes, among others - are not getting the job done.
In order for the Cavaliers to have any chance to win - and even then it might be iffy - James must attack the basket with a vengeance. Finally, in the last eight minutes of Game 2, James decided to go to the hole.
"I'm not going to force the action," James said. "When the double team comes, I'm going to give it up."
The Cavaliers had the Pistons on their heels in the fourth quarter - for the first time in the series - but ran out of time.
