Best Performances

Lebron James (0.197 WARP, 26-11-13, 2 blk, 1 stl, 6 tov)
Chris Bosh (0.202 WARP, 24-7-0, 1 stl, 2 blk)

In a rather anti-climactic fashion, the Heat dominated the Thunder last night to win the 2012 NBA Championship series 4-1. Lebron (and Shane Battier, Chris Bosh, Juwan Howard, and ….
