Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports
With a pair of free throws at the 6:09 mark of the second quarter in Game 7 against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday, Dwyane Wade found himself moving up the NBA's all-time playoff scoring list.
Trailing Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain by five points prior to tipoff, the Miami Heat All-Star's freebies at the charity stripe moved him past the former four-time league MVP into 17th place.
