During a recent interview on "The Pat McAfee Show", James addressed the importance of chemistry and execution in the playoffs, especially when scoring becomes inconsistent. He singled out both Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic, stressing that the team must stay locked in regardless of who’s making shots.

Fortunately for him, James was there to tip it in as time expired. After the game, Doncic expressed his appreciation for the four-time MVP, saying he was grateful James had the confidence in him to take the shot — and even more thankful that he was there to clean up the miss.
