LeBron James is one win away from his first ever NBA Championship title as the Miami Heat survived the Thunder in Game 4.
Miami is now up 3-1 in the 7-game NBA Finals series and the following game, Game 5, will be played again in the American Airlines Arena.
In a very physical and competitive game that had 12 lead changes (10 in Game 3), it was the Thunders this time that initiated with an early run that left the Heat training 14 points, 33-19, in the 1st quarter.
LeBron James and the Heat bounced back in the 2nd quarter and cut the gap to just 3 points with the Thunder leading 49-46 by half time.
By the end of the 3rd quarter it was Miami who was leading 79-75 while during the 4th quarter, LeBron gave Miami fans a scare as he limped his way through to the bench due to a hamstring injury that was apparently caused by a collision with Kevin Durant with few minutes remaining in the 4th quarter.
Mario Chalmers was key for Miami during the game scoring a key lay up as the clock ticked its final seconds. He had 25 points in the game and scored Miami's 5 last points.
Thunder's Westbrook lead both teams in total points with 43 while teammate Kevin Durant added 28. LeBron James finished with 26 and Dwayne Wade finalized with 25 points.
Miami won 104-90 and will try to clinch the NBA Championship game on Thursday.
