Dwyane Wade blocks LeBron James' shot into the seats

By Alex Butler

March 28 (UPI) -- Dwyane Wade had a huge block against LeBron James Tuesday in the Miami Heat's win against the Cleveland Cavaliers at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.

The block bounced above a row of cameramen and into the seats in the second quarter of the Heat's 98-79 victory.

James dribbled just inside the 3-point line with about 8:25 remaining in the second frame. He drove in slowly against Heat forward Kelly Olynyk before picking up the ball and going toward the rim.

James ended up fading away to the left of the hoop, as Olynyk jumped to defend. Wade came in from behind and put his right palm on the ball, dislodging it from James' hands.
