The battle continues
Stephenson stayed in James' space as he made his way back to the Cleveland bench and James responded by shoving Stephenson with his forearm, resulting in a technical foul.
It was just the 16th technical foul called on James in 221 career playoff games.
"I mean, I shouldn't have even gotten a tech in the first place," James said after the game. "There's a timeout called and this guy's following me to my bench. I gave him a little nudge and he falls to half court. Come on. But I should know better. I should know better.
Later in the fourth, Stephenson tangled up with James again on the defensive end, tying him up and getting the refs to call a jump ball. Once the officials blew the whistle, signaling the jump ball to come, Stephenson stripped the ball completely from James and held it up over his head like a trophy he just won.
