The King ruled the court today when LeBron James dropped 32 in a decisive Miami Heat victory over the New York Knicks. The game between the NBA Eastern conference rivals was hotly contested to start, but quickly turned into a good old fashion blow-out leading to a 100-67 Miami game one win.

Derrick Rose dropped 23 points leading all scorers in a 103-91 Game one win, but left the game with an apparent knee injury with 1:10 left in the fourth quarter. Rose also contributed nine rebounds and nine assists in a near triple double, still if he is forced to miss any games this series can take a dramatic turn. Read More...
