With LeBron James playing at his best level yet, the Miami Heat powered into the All-Star break with a reminder to the Oklahoma City Thunder that the NBA championship still resides on South Beach.
James had 39 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists and narrowly missed extending his record-setting streak of high-scoring games combined with top-notch accuracy, as the Heat trampled Oklahoma City 110-100 in a Thursday night showcase.
James was in position to continue his NBA-record run of games with at least 30 points and 60 percent shooting to seven but missed from a couple of steps beyond the 3-point line as the shot clock ran down with just more than a minute left and Miami up 10. With a 7th winning streak, The Heat are on top in the Eastern Conference. It being it a close game towards the end, the Heat became unstoppable their their moving the ball and shooting percentages.
Chris Bosh chipped in 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who won the last four games of last season's Finals after losing Game 1 in Oklahoma City and continued their dominance in the series after winning on their home court on Christmas Day.
