LeBron James was sitting at his locker after the game, a bottle of cold medicine at his side. The Los Angeles Lakers would be hard-pressed to believe it was needed. James shook off flu-like symptoms to put up 31 points, eight rebounds and eight assists -- hours after being told to stay away from the team's shootaround practice after calling in with a cough and chest congestion -- and the Miami Heat topped the Lakers 98-87 on Thursday night. Chris Bosh scored 15 for Miami, which won its second straight after a three-game slide.
