Shhh, don’t tell the Boston Celtics, but LeBron James just revealed the Cleveland Cavaliers’ elaborate plan to beat their opponents in Game 4.

Sunday night did not go as LeBron James had planned. After sweeping every team he and his Cleveland Cavaliers’ teammates have faced this playoff, they didn’t expect to lose to the Boston Celtics in Game 3. To add salt to injury, the Cavaliers were leading until the very end of the game.

So on Tuesday, when a reporter asked James about his strategy to get back on the winning track and take Game 4, James had a very elaborate response:

“Win.” That’s all the Cavaliers need to do. Sounds simple enough, especially since the Cavaliers dominated the Celtics in Game 1 and Game 2 by large margins. But if Game 3 taught us anything, it’s that anything can happen and that the Celtics are a scrappy bunch.

Not only were they down most of the game, but they were also missing their best player, Isaiah Thomas, who is going to be sidelined for the rest of the playoff due to an injury sustained in Game 2.

And even with the odds against them, they were able to get the victory and hold James, who played 45 minutes, to just 11 points, six rebounds and six assists. They even held him scoreless in the fourth quarter. King James was averaging 34 points, seven assists and 6.5 rebounds per game in the first two contests of this series.

The Cavaliers and the Celtics will play Game 4 on Tuesday night. Can James, who is averaging 32.2 points this postseason, and the Cavaliers get their mojo back and get the victory? We’ll have to wait and see.
