In game 1, LeBron James was the hero, but the role was turned 48 hours later, as the Miami Heat went to their star again to try and save the day, but the presence of Roy Hibbert led to some bad decisions form the NBA MVP, turning the ball over twice and leading to the series now being tied at 1-1.

Rest and off-time isn’t making Dwyane Wade feel anymore comfortable with his knee injury, but the Miami Heat need him on the court, healthy or not, if they want to repeat as NBA champions. More

Despite his triple double, there was a feeling LeBron James was being bested on both ends of the floor by Paul George.
