Heat 110, Magic 94: Chris Bosh made all nine of his shots from the field and scored 20 points as visiting Miami pulled away from Orlando in the second half for its ninth victory in 11 games.
Dwyane Wade also scored 20 and Rashard Lewis contributed a season-high 18 points while Michael Beasley poured in 13 off the bench for the Heat. LeBron James had nine of his 15 points in the second half, eight assists and eight rebounds for Miami, which led by only two at halftime.
Jameer Nelson led the way with a season-high 21 points and six assists for Orlando, which has dropped eight straight against Miami – three this season. Tobias Harris added 17 points and 10 rebounds while Arron Afflalo and Victor Oladipo each had 16 points for the Magic.
Lewis scored 10 points and the Heat made 13-of-22 from the field in the first quarter for a 30-24 lead and pushed their advantage to 10 early in the second. Harris had six points during a 16-3 run that gave Orlando the lead before Miami edged in front 48-46 at intermission despite James’ 2-of-8 shooting.
The Magic led by three early in the third before the Heat scored 19 of the next 21 points – six by Lewis – before settling for an 81-70 lead going into the final quarter. Orlando could not get closer than nine in the fourth quarter as Miami finished up shooting 54.1 percent from the field.
GAME NOTEBOOK: James scored in double figures for the 527th straight game, passing Moses Malone for the fourth-longest such streak in NBA history. … Magic C Nikola Vucevic, the team’s second-leading scorer and top rebounder, was held out for the second straight contest because of an ankle injury. Orlando is 0-6 without Vucevic this season. … Miami F Shane Battier missed the game with a quad injury and was replaced in the starting lineup by Lewis.
