LeBron James Pours 35 Points in Overtime Win. Miami Takes 3-1 Lead.

Miami’s Big Three was assembled for just this purpose: To dominate the bullies from Boston who knocked them from the playoffs so many times before. LeBron James scored 35 points, Dwyane Wade had 28 and Chris Bosh had 20 on Monday night to give the Heat a 98-90 overtime victory over the Celtics and move Miami within one game of the Eastern Conference finals. The Heat lead the best-of-seven East semifinals 3-1, with a chance to close out the series in Miami on Wednesday. “Wednesday night will be our greatest challenge that we’ve had with this group so far,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We’ll get their best games on Wednesday. And we have to be better. If we’re real about what we want to do, we have to beat the Boston Celtics at their best.”

  • Thats the KEY LEBRON should TAKE OVER from 1st Qrtr and the snowball will roll... Try to be a scorer on the playoffs.. i know he's a good passer but try to be more aggressive towards the basket in the playoffs...

  • BIG GAME for James! James did take over at the last minute of the fourth like what he did at the against the bucks. The layup and the clutch trey he made in-front of the Celts bench gave me goosebumps man.

  • there's a frustration part on his last play when he turned over the ball.. :x FORTUNATELY they stop the play, force it to OT and got the win.. :mrgreen: coz if they didnt...?? FOR SURE HE'S GONNA BE BLAMED with that single play... :roll: You know the media and the not-so loyal fans...?! :evil:

  • First of all, are those a new pair of PE's?

    Second of all, LeBron was doing his thing, even though if he wanted he could have scored probably about 10 or more points
