“Big shot,” LeBron admitted. “We rode that wave that we had. You know, Shane (Battier) is our key guy right now, our only guy that's making perimeter shots, and even a few shots that we make from the outside, it opens it up for all of us.”
UGLY BASKETBALL
Parties from both teams agreed that these Finals might not be a beauty pageant. The defenses are too severe.
“When you're talking about the best teams at this time, you take it any way you can get it,” said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
Said James: “I don't give a damn how we get four (wins). We can win 32-31. It doesn't matter to me. We can win any type of game.”
