LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have clinched the NBA’s best record and more importantly home-court advantage throughout the playoffs after beating the Pacers 117-109 on Monday night.
It’s one step, however, it’s a big step,” LeBron James, who led his team with 37-points, said after the win. “When you consider all the great teams, all the great players, all the great coaches and all the great systems that are in the NBA, for us to finish with the best record is a tremendous feat. And that is something the franchise should be proud of.”
However, LeBron doesn’t really care about the regular season record, he just wants that ring.
“We’ve got to do what’s best for the ring,” he said. “We’ve got home-court advantage already. We’re not fighting for breaking a record anymore. We’re fighting for that ring.”
When asked if he thinks the Cavs should be the favored to win it all, James said the Celtics are still clearly the team to beat.
“It’s going to be Boston,” he said. “It goes like that every year. Until you knock off the NBA champs, that’s the team to beat. We worked hard for the regular season to get to the point where we’re at now, the home court. We must serve home in the playoffs like we did in the regular season.”
