LeBron James' last potential elimination game against the Boston Celtics featured him ripping off a massive 27-19-10 triple-double in his last game as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010. In Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron's already looking like he could make a run at that performance.
James has 12 points in the early goings, is 5-for-6 from the field, and has scored in about every way imaginable: on a dunk in transition, a long two, a midrange jumper, a twisting transition lay-up that became a converted and-one, and a three.
LeBron's needed to be good while Dwyane Wade, once again, struggles to get in gear. Wade is 0-for-3 from the field, continuing a string of slow starts that has been a problem for the Heat through much of the 2012 NBA playoffs.
