In the second half, it became Lebron James' team.
James scored 24 of his 35points in the second half, including an 8 point flurry in the third quarter built around 2 consecutive threepointers and a breakaway dunk to leade Miami past Boston 102-91.
The other 2 members of the Heat Big Three also had solid games, with Wade scoring 28points (16 in the first half) and Chris Bosh scoring 17points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
Rajon Rondo finally broke out of his mini-slump and led the Celtics with 20points and 12 assists while Kevin Garnett had 16points and 6 rebounds.
However, it was the lackluster performances of Paul Pierce (13points on 5-11 shooting) and Ray Allen (7points on 2-7 shooting) that doomed the Celtics' bid for a Game 2 upset.
Which leads us to a mathematical quandary, because evidently, Miami's Big Three is greater than Boston's Big Four.
