LeBron James’s 18 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists were not enough to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the 2013 NBA Finals, but can we expect more from?

James played all 12 minutes of the third quarter, which admittedly drained him to some extent before the beginning of the pivotal final period.
That was when the San Antonio Spurs overtook the suddenly sloppy Miami Heat and escaped with a 92-88 victory that now has the defending champions in must-win mode.
