“I had always been a backstage guy,” Geithner writes by way of general explanation, but referring specifically to his first, spectacularly unsuccessful, public speech as Treasury secretary. “I had spent my career behind the scenes. Ever since high school, I had dreaded public speaking. . . . I swayed back and forth, like an unhappy passenger on an unsteady ship. I kept peering around the teleprompter to look directly at the audience, which apparently made me look shifty; one commentator said I looked like a shoplifter. My voice wavered. I tried to sound forceful, but I just sounded like someone trying to sound forceful.”
Geithner is clearly more at ease, and more himself, on the page than on the stage or the screen — which is, for an American public figure, both odd and charming. So much so that I finished his book half wishing he had just skipped all of the public performances required of him as Treasury secretary and instead written out what he had to say and handed it to an actor — say, Denzel Washington — to perform. “Stress Test” has surprising virtues — for instance, the skill with which Geithner draws his hard-to-describe main character. He thinks of himself — and on the evidence it’s hard to disagree with him — as a fairly ordinary person thrust into a great many extraordinary situations. His mother was a card-carrying liberal; his father a Republican who spent his career working in nonprofits in poor countries, and who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 while his son was still in the Obama administration. The future Treasury secretary grew up everywhere and nowhere, a bit like a military brat, and came away from his childhood with a certain detachment from the American way of life: “At a local supermarket in suburban Virginia one summer, I was stunned to see an entire aisle stocked with pet food. It seemed bizarre in a world full of starving people.”

Stephenson on Wednesday was vaguely conciliatory, saying he should have kept the talk between James and him on the court instead of prodding him through the news media. Vogel, the Pacers’ coach, said he spoke “at length” with Stephenson about his behavior, but he said he preferred to keep the content of the talk private.
“We’ve just got to play basketball,” said Stephenson, who hours later went on to yap at Wade and the referees, poke his head into multiple Heat huddles and blow air into James’s ear during a stoppage of play.

The Heat were slightly beat up, with guard Ray Allen, who had a sore right hip, and forward Chris Andersen, who missed Game 4 with a left thigh contusion, sitting out the team’s morning workout. Just before the game, Allen was cleared to play; Andersen was once again inactive.
Allen was crucial, scoring 10 points in the second quarter to match the combined first-half output of Wade and James. Behind his lead, the Heat closed the first half on a 9-2 run to take a 42-33 lead into the locker room. Allen finished with 15 points, Wade and Lewis added 18 apiece, and Bosh led the team with 20.
It was a commendable collaborative effort, but it clearly lacked the influence of James as Vogel’s unlikely wish came true.
“Twenty-four minutes is not enough for me to make an imprint on the game like I know I’m accustomed to doing, or I know I can do,” James said, smiling. “I’m much better on the floor than off it, for sure.”

“We’ve just got to play basketball,” said Stephenson, who hours later went on to yap at Wade and the referees, poke his head into multiple Heat huddles and blow air into James’s ear during a stoppage of play.
James shrugged at the shenanigans.
“Lance is Lance,” said James, who added that the only person whose ear he might have ever blown into was his wife.
The game opened with a bit of flash as Mario Chalmers floated a ball in the direction of James, who soared up along to the baseline to catch and dunk it in a fluid motion for the game’s opening points.
But thing got considerably untidier from there, particularly for James, who picked up his third foul halfway through the second quarter. It was just the second time this entire season that he had three fouls before halftime. He picked up his fourth one 22 seconds into the third quarter. Three minutes later, he had his fifth.
“Regardless of what happens, we still had enough opportunities to come away with a win,” Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra said of James’s foul trouble.

The Heat seemed calm after the game. The result of the best-of-seven series felt like a formality after Game 4, and it still did late Wednesday as Miami headed home for Game 5 with a 3-2 lead.
“I knew we were facing elimination,” George said. “Coach told me: ‘Green light. Stay on green.’ ”
George exploded for 21 points in the fourth quarter, but the game stayed close with James on the floor. James re-entered the game a minute and a half into the final period, with five fouls and 2 points under his belt, while David West was sinking a pair of free throws to give the Pacers a 70-62 lead.
James hit a 3-pointer with 3 minutes 50 seconds left to tie the game at 81-81. With 1:16 remaining, Chris Bosh banked in a 3-pointer to cut the Pacers’ lead to 88-87. On the ensuing possession, George ranged into the left corner, took a feed from Roy Hibbert and drained a 3-pointer to put the Pacers ahead by 91-87.
Bosh missed a 3-pointer on the other end, and after a scramble for the loose ball, George Hill found himself way ahead of the pack looking at an open layup. But James chased him down and smacked the ball out of his hand. The Heat swung the ball back to the other end, and Rashard Lewis, standing in the corner, sank a 3 to cut the lead to 1 again.
Bosh fouled David West, putting him on the foul line, and West made only one of two shots. The Heat had the ball out of a timeout trailing by 2 points with 12.8 seconds left on the clock.
On the inbounds play, James received the ball, drove into the lane and then elected to fire the ball out to Bosh, whose 3-point attempt from

With Foul-Plagued James Forced to Sit, the Pacers Remain Standing By ANDREW KEHMAY 29, 2014

INDIANAPOLIS — Frank Vogel, the coach of the Indiana Pacers, was asked Wednesday about a positive stretch of play his team had compiled about 48 hours earlier against the Miami Heat. Was there anything the Pacers could build on heading into Game 5 against the Miami Heat that night?
“LeBron James was on the bench during that stretch,” Vogel said with a smirk. “So if we can try to achieve that, that would help.”
It was a joke. And then, somehow, it became a reality.
James on Wednesday night descended into early and uncharacteristic foul trouble, picking up his fifth foul before the third quarter was halfway finished, and ended up playing just 24 minutes at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. In his absence, Paul George was the night’s most explosive star, helping the Pacers overcome a sluggish start to notch a 93-90 victory and keep the Eastern Conference finals going.
James was the best player on the floor Monday night, but he was barely on the floor Wednesday. He scored 7 points while shooting 2 for 10 from the field. Nine other players finished with more minutes than James. The best among them was George, who took his own virtuoso turn, scoring 37 points to go along with six rebounds and six steals.
