Basketball: Mavericks win game four

For the first time in more than four years, LeBron James did not score in double figures.

And the Miami Heat nearly pulled out Game 4 of the NBA finals anyway.

James finished with eight points on 3-for-11 shooting from the field, and although he added nine rebounds and seven assists, his scoring - or lack thereof - will be the talking point for the next two days.

Game 5 is Friday in Dallas, with the finals now a best-of-three series.

It's the ninth time in 717 career games, regular-season and playoff, that James was held to single digits - and the first time it happened in 90 playoff games.
