SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James, Miami Heat Forward, on limiting points off turnovers:

"Obviously it's crippled us, you know, throughout this season, especially the last month and a half. You know, we coming into this postseason understanding how possessions mean more than anything not turn the ball over, especially to a young team like this, allows them to get out on the break and, you know, when we turn the ball over those quick guys they have, they're athletic wings so to be able to protect the ball like we did and just nine turnovers for five points, it shows that, you know, we were very conscious about not being careless with the ball and getting up shots."
