FUNNY how the lights did not go out.. only the Air Conditioning.

there are two factors here:
1) Physical: Lebron has cramps.. has happened before. i have had them,, you can't walk.. agonizing for a few minutes,*then goes away like never there. In a tight game, the in
2) Mental/Psychological: People are superstitious. in critical moments especially.
We saw this in the Ravens/49ers Superbowl. The instant the Ravens started to run away with it, the power went out.... when the game resumed it was ALL San Francisco.. SF basically just ran out of time. It almost worked.
when an athlete is in the moment, and something bad occurs that is beyond their control, it is perceived by many as a sign that everything is beyond their control, and that events are against them.. and their mindset changes,
So, if Lebron has a leg cramp, he will take it as a bad sign, and begin playing poorly, and if Lebron must leave the game, his teammates will also register that as a sign that the stars are against them, and be psychologically affected as well.
If i was Spoelstra, i would have called my team over and held them. asked for them to fix the problem.. "we'll wait"
Stop the whole thing. FULL brakes.
