In the end, it's about who ran out of juice
Just take a moment to drink in LeBron James' line: 31 points on 10-of-20 shooting, a career-high 19 rebounds, eight assists, four steals, three blocked shots and eight turnovers. According to the number crunchers at Elias Sports Bureau, no one in the recorded history of the NBA has had 31 points, 19 rebounds, four steals and three blocks in the same game. James also won a jump ball at the end of regulation that looked for a moment like it might win the Cavs the game, and it certainly kept them in it. More on that in a moment, but understand that's not even recorded in the box score. Anderson Varejao, playing with his entire left leg wrapped in padding and support hose after suffering knee and Achilles injuries Wednesday, had a season-high 16 points and tied a career high with 18 rebounds.

Minuteman's high-tech border barrier called 'a cow fence'
Almost two years later, the reality is a five-strand barbed-wire barrier that ranchers dismiss as a mere cattle fence. The fence to help stop illegal immigration was the dream of Chris Simcox, the founder and president of the Minuteman Defense Corps. The group has chapters throughout the country, with Minuteman members from as far away as New Hampshire making the trip down to Arizona to participate in citizens' border patrols. They are doing a job Simcox says the federal government is not doing well enough. Simcox, who participated in border patrols as recently as October, has said, "If elected officials will not lead, then it's up to the citizens." Volunteers say they heeded Simcox's call because they believe illegal immigration is a grave threat to the security of the United States.
