MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James ran his hand across his beard, listening to a question whether he knows what exactly is wrong with the Miami Heat these days.
His answer: "Umm, no."
That about sums it up. Something is wrong with the two-time defending NBA champions, and even they aren't sure what it is. Miami has lost five of its last six games, entering Saturday three games behind Indiana in the race for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
It's the first time since 2011 that Miami has gone on such a slide. Forward Chris Bosh quickly pointed out that a stretch of results like this is just "unacceptable" to a team with title aspirations.
