Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt believes that LeBron James "willed" his side to victory over the Golden State Warriors in game two of the NBA Finals.
The Cavaliers were without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love for the match after both players were ruled out for the season, but James inspired his team to the win at Oracle Arena as he produced a 39-point display to help Blatt's men level the Finals at 1-1.
He told reporters: "You'd be hard pressed to find a guy anywhere, anytime I can think of a name or two, but that's the whole history of basketball that can give you the kind of all around performance and all around leadership that LeBron does for his group.
"And I think you said it the right way, he really willed his guys to win that game. That's what a champion does, and obviously he's a champion."
Game three of the NBA Finals takes place in Cleveland on Tuesday.
