LeBron James is a man on a mission and that is to silence his critics once and for all. James exploded for 35 points to lead the Miami Heat to an exhilarating 101-93 overtime victory over the reeling Chicago Bulls and take a commanding 3-1 series advantage in the Western Conference finals series. So dominating is James, who combined with Chris Bosh for 57 points, that he did not only excel in offense but in the defensive end as well. Bulls star and current league MVP Derrick Rose had the chance to wrap up the game in regulation, but his his jumper in the dying seconds had gone haywire all because of James outstanding defense. The Bulls out-rebounded the Heat, 42-41 but Miami out-hustled Chicago down the stretch to nail down the all-important win. After Udonis Haslem’s heroics in game three, another Heat bench player played a solid role in Mike Miller, who pumped in 12 points. The Heat can now close out the series in game five in Chicago. James says he is just too happy even though it took an extra five minutes to win the game, according to the Associated Press.
“Even though it took an extra five minutes, we held serve.”
