They came very close to blowing a double-digit fourth quarter lead, but the Miami Heat survived a late outburst by the Oklahoma City Thunder to win Game 2 of the NBA Finals, 100-96. LeBron James scored 32 points, the last two on free throws with under 10 seconds to go to ice the game. The Heat tied the NBA Finals at one game apiece, winning on the road down a game for the third playoff series in a row. James added 8 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 10 of 22 and a perfect 12 for 12 from the charity stripe. 14 of those shots came from the paint, a far cry from his jumper-happy Game 1 performance. It was his fifth straight 30-point game, breaking a franchise playoff record held by Dwyane wade. “We’ve been down. We’ve withstood rallies. The good thing about it, when they scored, we didn’t get our head down. We just got back on offense and started to execute,” James said. “It’s a great team that we’re going against. So we’re going to need every effort, every play and it’s going to take all the way down to zeroes on that clock to get a win.” NBC Sports
