Cavs take series lead on James buzzer-beater

CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer, giving Cleveland a 98-95 win in Game 5 over the Indiana Pacers and giving the Cavaliers a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference playoff series.

Moments before James’ shot, he blocked Victor Oladipo’s driving layup on a play the Pacers thought was goal tending.

The Cavs can close out the series with a win in Game 6 on Friday night.
