With the way he's playing, LeBron might petition the league to allow him to play back-to-backs all season. LeBron played in top gear all game despite playing for the third time in as many days. Pinning 7-foot-2 Roy Hibbert's layup to the backboard was just one of about 10 LeBron highlights in this one.

LeBron might sit atop the efficiency rankings this season, but Wade is making him sweat lately. In 24 minutes, Wade filled up the scoring column in a variety of ways with slam dunks and rainbow jumpers. Wade cooled off in the second half, but Erik Spoelstra shrewdly kept him on the bench in the laugher.

No one will feel sympathetic for Bosh's plight, but he won't get any pub for playing well when Wade and LeBron are playing at this level. He'll get his due eventually, though. Bosh had a solid night and outplayed his counterpart, David West. Bosh must have enjoyed his time in the sun in the fourth quarter with Wade and LeBron taking the final frame off.

The West All-Stars would have trouble scoring against the Heat with the way Spoelstra has them playing. The Pacers struggled to find an ounce of breathing room in the half court as the Heat showed no signs of fatigue in their third straight game. When teams are tired, the defense is usually the first thing to fall. Not so with Miami.

No excuses for the effort level, considering they enjoyed two days of rest and the Heat have had zilch since Sunday. Miami's defense might have been suffocating at times, but the Pacers' struggles were often self-inflicted. The Pacers now have lost by a total of 63 points in just two games against the Heat this season.
