LeBron James gave us one of the greatest elimination game performances we’ve ever seen a decade ago.
The Heat were down 3-2 to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals with their backs against the wall. It was year two of the Big 3 era with potential for a breakup on the horizon if they fail again. There’s also no Chris Bosh in the lineup.
But that’s no problem at all for James, who poured in 45 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in a win to force a Game 7. The rest is history.
