    CLEVELAND (AP) -- <font color="#0000ff">LeBron James</font> scored 47 points and posted his 10th career triple-double, outdoing <font color="#0000ff">Dwyane Wade</font> and leading the <font color="#0000ff">Cleveland Cavaliers</font> to their seventh straight win, 106-99 over the <font color="#0000ff">Miami Heat</font> on Saturday.

    The Cavaliers trailed for most of the second half as James and Wade dueled to the delight of the crowd.

    Each time the Cavaliers got close, Wade, who finished with 44 points, would hit a 3-pointer or make a highlight-reel drive to the rim for the Heat, who were without <font color="#0000ff">Shaquille O'Neal</font>.

    Heat were in control for most of the game until late in the third. It was an amazing battle between Wade and LeBron, both putting up huge stat stuffing numbers with incredible plays on what seem like every play. Heat couldn't couldnt execute down the stretchand make their shots, and couldn't stop the Cavs, as LeBron always found the open teammate. LeBron ended up with a triple double (43-12-10) on 16-25 shooting, and Wade ended up with a new season high of 44 points on 36 shots, contributing 8 boards and 9 dimes, pouring in 21 of his 43 in the 4th.

    Getting to the playoffs must have psyched LeBron up for this 47-point game. I think 'Bron's gonna emerge and show his true beast in the playoffs.

    Wade and LeBron really put on a show. Anyone feel a rivalry to develop for the next decade? I hope Shaq's injury isn't that bad, 2 games in a row now. Cleveland owned us in the paint without Shaq, Mourning, or Posey. Haslem did a good job, but that didn't make up for the loss of our other front court. LeBron did whatever he wanted to do all game and that is why we lost. LeBron has been killing us this season.
