James nearing 2,000 points for 7th straight season

James' scoring average of 26.6 this season is only a little more than a point down from his average during seven seasons as Cleveland's primary offensive threat. Wade is averaging 25.7 points, just 0.9 points shy of what he managed a year ago. Bosh averaged 20.2 points in seven years with Toronto; he's at 18.7 this season as Miami's No. 3 option.

"You automatically think when you bring three guys together that are used to having the ball, it's going to take a lot away. ... It's just a testament to us figuring it out," Wade said. "A lot of people questioned, 'Can we play together?' I think we've done a great job."

The numbers, naturally, support Wade's words.

"Just trying to stay above the curve," James said.
