Lebron Hits 61

Lebron At It Again
Lebron James put on the best scoring game of his NBA career, pouring in 61 points. Lebron's career high and franchise record as the Miami Heat beat the Charlotte Bobcats 124-107. It was the eighth straight win for the two-time defending champions, who are starting to roll as the playoffs get near. Lebron James made 22 of 33 shots from the field, including his first eight 3-point attempts. His career best previously had been 56 points, on March 20, 2005, for Cleveland against Toronto. Glen Rice scored 56 to set the Heat record on April 15, 1995, against Orlando. James had 24 points at halftime, then added 25 in the third quarter. That was the moment, James said, when he knew he was in the midst of a special night."I felt pretty good in the first half but halftime can always kind of derail things and slow things up," James said. "But I was able to get things going once again in the third quarter and I knew it could be one of those nights."Lebron killed it in his game agianst the Bobcats, some people might say it's white mask he was wearing. Lebron should start wearing the mask every game if he has games like he did against the Bobcats. The Heat didn't even have there all star gaurd Dwayne Wade, who got a night off to rest. James scored 11 in the first quarter, after which Miami led by three, and added 13 more in the second. His 24-point first half was the highest-scoring opening 24 minutes for the four-time MVP in nearly a year, helping stake the Heat to a 60-54 lead at the break. It's incredible that he scored that much, not as many players now a days score over 60 points. Only over 15 people have scored over 60 points in a single game.
