"LeBron James made sure the Miami Heat would not go 0 for 3 against the Milwaukee Bucks this season.

James, going to his post-up game and attacking the basket, was a model of efficiency as he scored 35 points and paced the Heat to a 114-96 victory over the Bucks on Monday night at the Bradley Center.

The game bore little resemblance to the first two games in the season series, both won by the Bucks.

"They were real aggressive tonight, especially LeBron was," said Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings. "He didn't take a three. He took a lot of shots on the block.

"It's tough to stop that, especially when he's shooting fadeaways and guys are playing good 'D.' ""
