The Cavs dropped game two of the 2018 NBA Finals against the Warriors 122-103, Sunday and in doing so fall into a deep 2-0 series hole.LeBron James didn't put up the monster numbers quite like he did in game one, but the four-time MVP still managed to notch yet another historical achievement in the loss. James' 29 points, nine boards and 13 assists took his series total of points and assists to 80 and 21. After his monstrous 51-8-8 in game one, the following outing was always going to seem like a lesser performance, but the statistical significance that his game two numbers gave him cannot be understated.No player in NBA history has reached those totals through two games of a Finals series, per Tommy Beer of Rotoworld.James is averaging 40 points, 10.5 assists and 8.5 rebounds whilst shooting a stellar 55.8% from the field in the series so far, and should he continue on that pace could well become only the second player in history to win the Finals MVP award after being on the losing team. 

The fact that the 33-year-old is putting up the best numbers of his career in year fifteen, yet is still likely to lose the series comfortably is a scathing indictment on his supporting cast. 

Aside from Kevin Love, who's been hurt and a liability and defense at times, no Cavalier has consistently given James the help he needs on either end of the court. 

Not much more needs to be said about the idiocy of JR Smith at the end of game one, but it's plays like that just leaves one feeling sorry for The King. 

He's giving his all to his team, only to see a cast of All Stars rip it away from him largely due to the lack of talent around him. 

Thursday's game three back in Cleveland is simply a must-win for the home side if they are any chance to claim the unlikeliest of championship wins. 

But, with the crowd seething following some atrocious officiating in the Warriors' favour and the ever-motivated James on side, it's not unfathomable to suggest that Cleveland could return to the Oracle for game five with the series tied up. 

Even then, the demons of game one will still be lingering and it seems more than likely that Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and co will go on to claim Golden State's third title in just four seasons to firmly establish themselves as a dominant NBA dynasty.
