MIAMI -- Most every night in Miami is a party, but tonight's festivities might be championship caliber.

The Heat are a win away from the second NBA title in franchise history and first since assembling its Big Three.

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh lead Miami into Game 5 of the finals against the Thunder this evening holding a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-seven showdown.

After dropping the opener in Oklahoma City, the Heat has ripped off three straight victories.

No NBA team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals, but the Thunder already wiped out one big hole just one round ago in the Western Conference finals.

They trailed San Antonio 2-0 before bouncing back to win the series.
