F LeBron James scorched Toronto for 39 points and became the NBA's second all-time leading scorer in the postseason in Wednesday's 125-103 victory in Game 2 of an Eastern Conference semifinal. James shot 10-of-14 from the field, 15-of-21 from the foul line and 4-of-6 from 3-point range in 37 minutes. In six games this postseason -- all wins for the Cavs, James is averaging 34.2 points on 56.6 percent shooting. "I don't know, I'm just, I'm feeling pretty good," James said. "My teammates do a great job of putting me in position, my coaching staff do a great job of putting me in position to be successful. And, I put a lot of work in on my craft and I live with the results. Just blessed I'm able to make a few plays tonight to help us win another game." James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (5,762 points) for second place on a 3-pointer in the third quarter. Michael Jordan is first with 5,987 playoff points. James also became the fourth player in NBA history (Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Manu Ginobili) to make 300 playoff 3-pointers. And he has 89 playoff games with at least 30 points, which moved him past Kobe Bryant. Only Jordan (109) has more. "You hear a name like Kareem, a guy who's done so many great things, not only as an individual but as a teammate, winning championships in the 80s and things of that nature and how many points he's put up -- he's somebody you read about," James said. "It was always my dream as a kid to be a part of this league and once I seen that gift, and once I seen I had mentors around me that was going to allow my gift to flourish, I didn't take it for granted. I still don't. Even at 32."
