NBA FINALS GAME 4 RECAP HEAT ONE WIN AWAY...



       Game 4 of the NBA finals just wrapped up with the Miami Heat winning by the score of 104-98 to take a 3-1 series lead. This was the most intense game of the series with both teams realizing how big this game was. The Heat showed a toughness that we dint see from them in last years playoffs. They had a lot to over come tonight between falling behind by 17, having Russel Westbrook have his biggest playoff game of his career, and most importantly having LeBron James get injured with 3 minutes left in the game.

   The difference in this game was the extra help the stars on both teams got. The Heat got 25 big points from Mario Chalmers. Meanwhile OKC only got 8 from raining 6 man of the year James Harden. That was the big difference in the game and for OKC the big part of the series has been Hardens play.

   Russel Westbrook was nothing short of great tonight with his 43 points 7 rebounds and 5 assist. Hitting big shots when needed and made every big play for the Thunder. Westbrook dint play a perfect game, with 17 seconds left and 5 on the shot clock Westbrook made a ill advise foul after a jump ball which basically sealed the game.

   For the Heat and its fans a scary part of the game was when LeBron James went down with what seems to be a crap. LeBron wound up coming back in the game and hit a big 3 to give the Heat the lead in the game. When LeBron got hurt Dwyane Wade took over the game on both sides of the ball by getting big blocks, hitting big shots, and making passes to the open man with the D on him. Wade proved hes still a top player and hes still a closer. The Heat did what they have to do to win. LeBron stuffs the stat sheet and gets them to the end, Wade plays big down the stretch, mix in solid play by Chris Bosh, and get help from someone else. Tonight the x factor was Mario Chalmers with his 25 points.

  I said going into this that who wins tonight will win it all. Yes I know that if OKC wins game 5 they go home with the chance to win two games and win it all. There are 4 things going against the Thunder. No team in NBA finals history has ever came back from 3-1 down. James Harden has disappeared. The Heat are at home where they look unbeatable right now. Finally and most importantly the big three look focused and know the finish line is near. This time Thursday night we may be witnessing the big three winning there first championship as a unit. For Dwyane Wade his second. Most importantly LeBron James is one win away from winning his first ring and finally shutting up his critics.
