LeBron James was back in Cleveland on Monday night for the first time since 2018 and he made it a memorable night as he went for a season-high 46 points in a 115-108 victory over the Cavs.
LeBron scored 21 of those points in the fourth quarter alone. After the game we found out things got a little personal for him and it was why he decided to go off in the final quarter.
You see, LeBron missed a shot at the end of the third quarter and since there aren’t a lot of people in the arena he was apparently able to hear a Cavs exec being overly happy about the missed shot.
This was the moment:
LeBron said a member of the Cavs front office celebrated his miss at the end of the third. He scored 21 in the fourth.

The Cavs were up by two points after the third quarter but that lead went away thanks to LeBron’s huge fourth… and that loud exec’s celebration.
