Let's hope the "Dynamic Duo" and the two best all-around players in the world, continue their fantastic performances in Game 3's -- as they're accustomed to doing in their careers after the series is tied.

1. LeBron, Wade Stand Out In Pivotal Game 3s
DALLAS -- History and reality tell us Sunday's Game 3 of these NBA Finals probably is going to end up being vital.
But they also have something quite valuable on their side: Two players who have been dominant in these moments during their careers. Both Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have remarkable track records in Game 3s of series that are tied 1-1.
Wade is playing in his 16th career playoff series and is tied at 1-1 for the sixth time. In those other instances, Wade has regularly delivered huge performances in those crucial Game 3s. In fact, the Heat are 5-0 with Wade in Game 3s in a tied series, including 1-0 this season when the Heat took command of the Eastern Conference finals with a Game 3 win over Chicago. Wade's averaged 29.4 points on 52 percent shooting in those situations.
James is playing in his 17th career playoff series and is tied at 1-1 for the fifth time. In those other instances, James has delivered huge performances in those crucial Game 3s. The Cleveland Cavaliers were 3-1 in those Game 3s. James averaged 35.5 points on 47 percent shooting in those situations.
"Obviously, we understand this is a very big game," Wade said Saturday. "We've been looking forward to it since after Game 2"
