The heavy lifting for the Heat will still be done by LeBron James,Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and that was on display early against the Magic. James had 29 points, six rebounds and four assists, and Wade had 28 points, five assists and four rebounds. The duo combined for 47 points in the first half before struggling in the end.
Orlando trailed 80-71 entering the fourth quarter, but the Magic won on the strength of 16 3-pointers while the Heat went cold from the field. Bosh, who had 13 points and five rebounds, missed a game-tying 3-pointer at the end of the game, and LeBron missed the second chance that followed.
"Obviously there is a trend with us where we do the same things over and over," Bosh said. "We've blown a lot of games where we're in full control, and we have to do something. I don't know what it is. We have to stop talking about it. Sometimes you can get caught up in talking too much. We just have to focus on what we have to do. We'll know when it's all said and done, but we have to stop doing this."
