The Playoff Round: 2011 Eastern Conference Semifinals (Heat win 4-1)

The Player & The Line: Dwyane Wade, 30.2 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 4.8 APG, 1.3 SPG, 1.5 BPG on 53-29-78 shooting splits

The Context: Dwyane Wade and LeBron James would slay the ghosts of Celtics past, facing off against their bitter rivals as for the first time since they, along with Chris Bosh, partnered up. The Celtics had no answers for Wade, who dazzled with his still-elite combination of burst and guile. His eurostep on Kevin Garnett may be my favorite Heat crowd reaction of all time.
