After a Derrick Rose buzzer-beater, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves down 2-1 in their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Chicago Bulls.

James came to play, putting up 27 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists, but shot poorly from the field and had 7 costly turnovers in the Cavs' 99-96 heartbreaker. On a brighter note, he passed Tony Parker, Steve Nash and Larry Bird on the all-time career playoff assists list.

The bittersweet night was contested in a Player Exclusive colorway of the regular Nike LeBron 12, which James seems to prefer to the more expensive Elite model. James revisited this white-based pair, with navy Hyperposite and yellow and red accents.
