Last week: 1 – DOWN 1

It’s hard to push LeBron down from No. 1 after a 3-0 week, but George was slightly more impressive. Miami played the Orlando Magic twice as well as the Atlanta Hawks. James didn’t really have to do much, as two of the games were blowouts, but he did come up big in Saturday’s game, turning it up in the second half and eventually hitting what would be a game-winning shot for the Heat.
