Miami Heat, LeBron Live Another Day

Jun 08, 2012 12:12 AM EDT

The Miami Heat, or should I say, LeBron James has forced a Game 7 after leading the attack and defeating the Boston Celtics 98-79 in Game 6. The game was never close. Definitely not like Games 2 and 4, which ended up in overtime.

James had about half of the Heat's points, scoring 45, 30 of which came in the first half. He shot 12/14 in the first and second quarters. James also grabbed 15 rebounds and had five assists. Dwyan Wade added 17 points. 

The Celtics scored 79 points for the second time in the series, matching their series low. They could not string together any offensive runs and got a very poor offensive performance from their bench as they combined to only score 15 points.

Game 7 will be played Saturday night in Miami. Tipoff is at 8:30 PM EDT, which is also the time where fans' palms will get sweaty and nerves will begin to rattle. 

Check back in tomorrow for further analysis on Game 6.
