Heat and Thunder gear up for Game 5

  • Intro:

    Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder players speak ahead of Game 5 in the NBA finals series, with the Heat 3-1 up.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat:

    "But I see LeBron James. I see the best and most dominant player in the game. It's good to have that. It's good to know that you have a guy that is going to dominate the game in many different facets. He's just focused, you know, just like the rest of this team. He has a goal, and he wants to reach that goal, and he doesn't want nothing to stand in his way, and he doesn't want himself to stand in his way. He wants to make sure once you leave the game or you leave the series, you can say, I gave it my all. I don't know if we all could have said that last season, and I think this year so far every game we've played to this point or we've won to this point, you walk away and say, you know what, we gave what we had. You can go to sleep a little better at night, even though sleep is a hard nowadays, you can go to sleep a lot better."

    SOUNDBITE (English) LeBron James, Miami Heat:

    "I feel a lot better than I did last night. That's clear. I'm able to walk up here even better than I did last night when I talked to you guys. I'm still a little more because of the muscles just kind of being at an intense level, very tight. I'm still sore. I was able to get some treatment last night. I was able to get some treatment this morning. We prepared for Game 5 a little bit today. We didn't do very much running and things of that nature, but I think I'm going to used today as an opportunity to continue to improve with my legs. And also with the game being basically at midnight tomorrow night, I have all day tomorrow, too, to prepare. I should be fine by tomorrow night."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder:

    "Well, everybody in the world knows our backs are against the wall right now. That's all you guys write. But we're down 3-1. We're down 3-1 with a chance to try to take it back to Oklahoma City tomorrow. We can't win three games in a row here in Miami. We can't win the series by next game. We've got to take it a possession at a time, a game at a time and go from there. You know, tomorrow, of course, is a do or die, and we've got to come out and perform."
