LeBron James shakes off leg cramps, Heat beat Thunder 104-98 to move 1 win from NBA title

• MIAMI (AP) -- The pain was so great, LeBron James said, that his body practically shut down on him.
• He could hardly stand, certainly couldn't run. Good thing all he needed to do was shoot.
• A limping, grimacing James shook off the pain of left leg cramps to hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:51 remaining and the Miami Heat held off the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 104-98 victory Tuesday night and a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals that no team has ever blown.
• "He was hurting," teammate Dwyane Wade said. "But that's what it's about this time of the year. It would hurt more if we lose the ballgame, so it feels a little better if you can win it."
• Imagine how good it will feel if the Heat get one more victory.
