The 10 very best games played by Playoff LeBron

#7 Heat vs Nets, May 12, 2014 (Eastern Conference Semifinals, Game 4)

LeBron drives past old Nemesis Paul Pierce

Statline: 49 points on 16-of-24 shooting, six rebounds, two assists, three steals

The Mikhail Prokhorov-powered Brooklyn Nets went into this semifinal matchup full of hope, given that they'd swept the Heat in the regular season 3-0.

What they should've bargained for, however, was James flipping the switching and becoming Playoff LeBron and ripping the heart out of whatever chances they had in a seven-game series.

In a vintage performance, James tied his playoff career-high of 49 points as the Heat beat the Nets 102-96 at the Barclays Center for a decisive 3-1 series lead.

He was a terror in the low post, the high post, driving to the rim and even from behind the arc - scoring three out of his six three-pointers.

None of Joe Johnson, washed-up Paul Pierce or washed-up Kevin Garnett was able to guard James on the night, as he sealed a series win in a game when none of his teammates scored more than 15 points.
