The defensive effort was closer to Miami Heat standards.

LeBron James made it difficult to notice anything but offense.

James scored 33 points on 13-for-21 shooting - with an array of post-up moves getting him going early, then a barrage of three-pointers fueling a big third-quarter push - and the Heat encountered little trouble on the way to a 118-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night.
