A year removed from a miserable Finals loss to the Dallas Mavericks, the Heat were yet again on the verge of failure. Heading into Game 6 of the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics were leading the series 3-2 and needed one win out of two in order to send the Heat back to South Beach.
Unfortunately for them, LeBron had had enough of losing. It was his turn to prove the critics wrong, and that is exactly what he did.
