The Miami Heat are playing their best basketball of the season, and have dominated the NBA for the past month. Each game seems to bring one alley-oop highlight after another, with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade putting on a nightly show. Each has been the beneficiary of one another's brilliant passes this season. On Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers they pulled off yet another incredible dunk although the degree of difficulty was not quite as high on this one. That didn't take away from the highlight worthiness, as James emphatically slammed it through with one hand.
