There was no mask to rip off and no sleeves to blame today as Lebron James and the Miami Heat lost their third straight game. Â After Lebron James had a career-high 61 points against the Charlotte Bobcats, the Heat have lost three straight games. Â First it was the red hot Houston Rockets, then it was a NBA Finals rematch in San Antonio, and today, a tough overtime loss in Chicago.
After his best scoring night, James has seen his field goal percentage plummet over the last three games. Â Against the Bobcats, James’ field goal percentage was .667 (22-33). Â When Miami travelled to San Antonio, James was held in check by Kawhi Leonard and had his worst performance, going 6-18 (.333) in that game.
Dwyane Wade had a good game, scoring 25 for Miami. Â Unfortunately, the Heat had no answer for Joakim Noah, who had a double-double. Â In their previous game against the Spurs, Tim Duncan also had a double-double.
This is not the first time this season the Heat have lost three straight games. Â They had a three game stretch in which they lost to both New York teams. Â They have been lucky that the Indiana Pacers are currently on a four game losing streak and remain only two games ahead of them in the Eastern Conference standings.
