Series Tied. Celtics Outlast Miami Heat in Overtime. »

Dwyane Wade missed an open 3-pointer as time expired, allowing the Boston Celtics to escape with a 95-93 overtime win over the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals. With the victory, Boston has tied up the series at 2-2, rallying from a 2-0 deficit. It was an odd game from LeBron James. He made a clutch 3-pointer after the pick-and-roll with Wade to tie the game, but couldn’t get a shot off on the last play in regulation. And then he fouled out halfway through overtime. LeBron got his points, but this was an uncharacteristic game for him, getting whistled for fouls and routinely coughing up the ball (seven turnovers). LeBron James had never fouled out in a playoff game until Sunday’s overtime loss to the Celtics. He is now 1-3 in his career (regular season and postseason) when he fouls out.
