LeBron James and the Heat vs Lakers game

On February 10 2013 the basketball team  Miami Heat won over the Los Angeles Lakers with 107-97. This is their fifth win in a roll. James made the most points in the game with the amazing 32 points (almost a third of his whole team points).  Dwyane Wade follows him with 30, but the more interesting fact is that this is also James fifth game in a roll in which he scores 30 points or above. He is actually only one of the three official NBA players to score 30 points or above and have at least 60% accuracy in five games in a roll. The only two players are Adrian Dantley who played back in 1979 and Moses Malone in 1982. His coach, however, Erik Spoelstra doesn't celebrate about that too much. Maybe he doesn't want is player to end the streak from over excitement and overconfidence.
The two teams were fairly equal throughout most of the game untill Wade gave the Heat a lead of seven points making the score 89 to 82. After several minutes with cooperation between Wade and James the Heat got another lead of seven points making the game almost certainly a win. All that was caught by the audience. The spectacular plays made the whole crowd stand on their feet cheering for the Heat. James made the final 4 points for his team in the last 6 seconds. The Heat won in the end with which they can progress in the competition with confidence. The Lakers, however, lost the game which put them in 4-3 situation. This means that they dropped out of the competition. The coach, Nash, isn't happy from the results as his team could have done much much better. They had opportunities to win the game and to even get a significant lead, but overall Heat turned out to be better. Maybe next year the Lakers will have more luck and less mistakes.
