No one can say D-Wade isn't doing anything possible to keep the Heat respectable in the East while Shaq is out with injury. Last night against the Sonics, he took control in the final 8 minutes by scoring 14 of his 29 points to lead Miami to a 107-104 win. He also dissed out 13 assists. Guards, Jason Williams and Gary Payton both shot over 50% from the field and scored 14 a piece. However, if it wasn't for Wade's high flying offensive attack the Heat would have been dealt another loss. At 15-19 they can't afford to fall behind too far in the East. They're in no position to boast bragging rights or get ahead in the Eastern conference.
The Heat survived good scoring performances from Ray Allen (29 points) and Chris Wilcox (28 points). Thanks to the sufficient interior Miami defense they were able to hang up. Zo grabbed 7 rebounds and blocked 3 shots. The combo of Mourning and Haslem has worked out okay to fill the void of their Superstar big man. Miami's next three games will be on the road against Golden State, Utah, and the Lakers. Getting through the rest of the month on a winning streak could help the Heat gain momentum drawing near the All-Star break.
