The Miami Heat beat the New Jersey Nets for the second time in the same week, this time 101-89 in Miami. After leading 55-51 at halftime, the Heat went on a 25-10 run in the final 7 minutes of the third quarter to gain a lead they would not relinquish. This run was lead by LeBron James, who scored 14 points in the quarter, including 7 in the final 30 seconds of the frame.
Miami got going offensively, and for the first time all season each of the big three scored over twenty points. James finished with 23 points and 9 assists, while Dwyane Wade added a double-double of 29 points and 10 rebounds. Chris Bosh had his best offensive game of the year, as he finished with 21 points on 6 for 12 shooting. The big three of Wade, James, and Bosh combined for 73 of the Heat’s 101 points in the game.
"Guys played very hard tonight," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Without even looking at the scoreboard, you could just tell that we were making an impact on the game with our energy, our disposition, really active, particularly on the defensive end and it allowed us to get out in the open court. And guys were really playing with athleticism and speed."
