Was an offensive masterclass from both. LeBron was abusing the Heat in the PnR and Wade was doing more post up and iso work on the wing. Wade never was the main matchup for bron but he switched onto him a handful of times and the cavs put lebron on wade later in the 4th and Wade had LeBron in a blender. leBron wasn't as disciplined yet defensively and wasn't a great screen navigator in 06 which the heat took advantage of. Bron could not stop Wade 1 on 1 at all in the 4th and allowed a few costly buckets. Wade wasn't being used very much defensively, he was guarding Flip Murray most of the game. Was a very good watch and Wade got sold late in the game with teammates missing some open shots he created, and lebron took advantage of it (he created 2 shots in one possession with like 2 minutes left to extend the lead).

Lemme know what y'all think of the data or if you wanna see anything else ive tracked, or if you wanna see any future tracking i do
