Dwyane Wade has faced the prospect of needing a road playoff victory to keep the Miami Heat’s season alive before.
In 2012, he watched LeBron James score 45 points and pick up 15 rebounds in a Game 6 win at Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Two seasons ago, Wade put the Heat on his back in Game 6 of a first-round series at Charlotte, scoring 23 points to hush up Purple Shirt Guy and lift the Heat to victory.
So how is Wade, 36, preparing himself mentally for Miami’s must-win Game 5 at Philadelphia on Tuesday night with the Heat trailing in the series 3 games to 1?
