The Miami Heat extended their win streak to 24 on a thrilling comeback victory. The scoreboard leaked fluid, causing a long delay. The home team, missing its top three scorers, built a mammoth lead over the defending NBA champions. A fan sprinted onto the court, hoping to convince LeBron James to come back home. The game was very exciting I thought that the Heats win streak would end. When the Heat trailing by nine points entering the fourth quarter, James made a 3-pointer and layup before draining another long 3 to tie it at 77 with 10:28 left. After his shot dropped through the net, James turned toward the sellout crowd in Quicken Loans Arena and delivered any icy stare to many of the same faces who cheered him during his seven seasons as a member of the Cavaliers. James and his teammates have insisted the Lakers' record, once believed to be untouchable but now within their reach, isn't a goal. And for more than 30 minutes, they seemed disinterested and were on the verge of losing for the first time since Feb. 1. Miami trailed 67-40 with 7:44 left in the third quarter, and there weren't many signs that they were going to make it a game. But Shane Battier made three 3-pointers as the Heat closed the third quarter with a 28-10 run and the irrepressible James, who added 12 rebounds and 10 assists in 42 minutes, did the rest in the fourth as the Heat inched closer to history while matching the NBA's biggest comeback this season After the game cleveland would hope for a 2014 comeback to the Cavs.
