James Not Concerned With Scoring

A late scratch Tuesday, Wade is probable for Wednesday’s nationally televised game against the Thunder, which crushed the Heat on March 25 in Oklahoma City. The Heat will need Wade on Wednesday but managed to do without him against the Sixers, especially on a night when LeBron James set a season-high for points. He scored 41, shooting 15 of 25 from the field.

“It’s never really mattered to me about scoring,” James said. “[Tuesday] was a good team effort, and I’m happy to get a good team effort against a playoff team.”

The Heat (38-14) completed a regular-season series sweep of the Sixers (29-24) with relative ease considering Miami was without Wade and altered its starting lineup further by replacing Joel Anthony with newcomer Turiaf. Then again, the Heat has defeated the Sixers 11 consecutive times in the regular season dating to last season.
