LeBron, Miami Choke up as Dallas Evens up the Finals Behind Dirk »
LeBron James struggled in Miami’s loss in Game Four of the 2011 NBA Finals on Tuesday night. James had his lowest single-game postseason scoring total and again struggled in the fourth. You can focus on some nice rebounds or some good work as a facilitator, like in Game Three, but the bottom line is that this was a horrible performance from LeBron. He was passive offensively, missed some easy looks when he did try to score, and had his worst defensive game of the series. As a result the Miami Heat has once again lost to the Dallas Mavericks, who once again were able to pull off an impressive 4th quarter comeback. Dirk Nowitzki fought through a 101-degree fever to score 10 of his 21 points in the final period, including a decisive drive with 14.4 seconds left. The series is now tied at 2-2 with one more game left to play in Texas.
