LeBron James started his two-game reunion tour with a game in Miami against the Heat and exploded for his only 50-point performance of the season. He made eight of his first nine shots and just wouldn't miss.

This was his 13th career 50-point game, and he finished the game with 51 points on a red-hot 19-for-31 shooting, including 6-for-8 from downtown. With the result already decided and just 16.5 seconds remaining in the game, James shot a 32-foot three-pointer, and pointed at Lance Stephenson who challenged him to take the shot.

The Heat just could not handle LeBron that night as the Purple and Gold ended up winning the seventh game of their last nine games.

Final Score: Los Angeles Lakers 113 - 97 Miami Heat
