Hours before Game 3, Dwyane Wade had that big-game feeling. Wade’s 36 miserable hours of migraine headaches had passed, his head was clear and his game, well, he’d prove his game was back in championship form.
“I don’t have to worry about bright lights,” Wade said. Was he ever fantastic under the postseason spotlight.Wade had 32 points and 10 rebounds, LeBron James finished with 24 points and 15 boards and the Miami Heat took a 3-0 lead in their first-round series against thePhiladelphia 76ers with a 100-94 victory Thursday night.
“I felt a lot better,” Wade said. “My game felt better. I think my teammates could see it.”
The Heat saw it from the opening tip. Wade was driving, attacking, dunking — playing his game at full blast the way he couldn’t in Game 2. He even fought through another familiar malady, a banged-up shoulder that needed ice and treatment.
Wade delivered with a string of big baskets — he was 10 of 19 from the field overall — in the third and fourth quarters that spurred the Heat to the brink of the conference semifinals. He drew a foul on a spin move against Jrue Holiday and hit two free throws with 51.6 seconds left that about clinched the game.
