Miami Heat win seventh straight game
LeBron James and Dwayne Wade dominate Phoenix Suns in NBA matchup
LeBron James was even more efficient than usual, which says plenty. Dwayne Wade attacked early, distributed late and capped his night with a pair of cartwheels.
Yep, it’s going pretty good for the Miami Heat in the NBA these days.
James scored 35 points on only 14 shots, Wade added 21 points and 12 assists and the Heat won their seventh straight game, beating the Phoenix Suns 107-92 on Monday night.
I’m in a very, very comfortable position right now with my game
“The 12 assists was all my teammates, catching the ball, finishing,” Wade said after his highest assist total since March 22, 2010. “And the cartwheels were all me.”
The cartwheels – a nod to Wade’s youngest son Zion, who does his gymnast act all over the family’s home these days – were pre-planned, the latest “video bomb” where the Heat find a way to disrupt someone’s postgame on-court interview.
It’s about the only way James can be thrown off at this point.
He made 11 of 14 shots from the field, shot 11 for 11 from the foul line for the second time in a week – after doing that or better only four times in his first 10 NBA seasons – and capped his night with a trio of fadeaway jumpers that left him wondering why the Suns weren’t double-teaming him.
