Dec 3, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The Miami Heat took on the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 2 in a game that can safely be called historical and one of the most anticipated in the NBA season. While LeBron James diverted most of the attention from the game, the game itself was dominated by the away-team right from the start.

In spite of LeBron James scoring just 4 points in the first 8 minutes of the game, the game looked one sided right from the time that Miami Heat took a 16-0 lead. Cleveland Cavalier fought hard in the second quarter but the gap in the scores seemed almost insurmountable by the home team. Leading at 59-40 at the end of the first half, the Cleveland Cavaliers were hoping for a turn around in the third quarter to get back into the game. During the break at half-time, LeBron James said that he still had love for the fans in Cleveland. The fans on the other hand, continued to show extreme hostility towards the NBA super-star and booed every time he touched the ball. In the first half, LeBron James did not impact the game much which prompted some fans to put up a sign saying that he had left his talents in Cleveland.

The fans seem to have spoken too early about the talents of LeBron James as he completely dashed the chances of his former team in the third quarter by scoring a whopping 24 points in it. He sat through most of the final quarter and the Miami Heat were left with a comfortable lead to sail home smoothly (118-90). LeBron James finished with a game high 38 points.
