"MIAMI -- On the eve of an elimination game that could potentially oust the Boston Celtics from the postseason, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade cited the reigning Eastern Conference champions as an inspiration for joining forces in Miami."
Boston has ejected James from the NBA playoffs two of the previous three seasons. James' last game in a Cleveland uniform came in Boston on May 13, 2010, when his Cavaliers bowed out to Boston in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Heat pushed the Celtics to the brink of elimination with a 98-90 overtime win in Boston on Monday. Miami now leads the best of seven series of 3-1. They have a chance to close out the Celtics at American Airlines Arena in Game 5.
"Teams with a 3-1 lead in a best-of-seven series have lost the series just eight times in 199 series. Even though the Heat are now heavy favorites to advance to the Eastern Conference finals, they insist they aren't looking ahead."
