LeBron James: ‘This is the team that I envisioned’

When they sat injured in the locker room during the second half of what became a 109-101 loss at Atlanta late last month, LeBron James and Kevin Love spoke about what they envisioned for this team. It certainly wasn’t six-game losing streaks, dismal defensive efforts and embarrassing losses to teams like the Pistons, Kings and 76ers.

Now as Timofey Mozgov stands in the lane catching lob dunks and absorbing space defensively, as Iman Shumpert takes the floor to a roaring ovation and J.R. Smith splashes off-balance 3-pointers, James’ vision is coming into focus.

“This is the team that I envisioned,” James said. “This is the style of basketball I envisioned.”
