Go Wade!

Go Heat!

—Dwyane Wade was having a rough night. His shot was unreliable.

Wade, of course, was still spectacular. He scored 10 of his 41 points in overtime to help the Miami Heat outlast the Sacramento Kings 119-115 on Friday night.

“That No. 3 is pretty good,” a weary-looking Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Wade scored the final five points in overtime for the Heat, who had dropped three of four games. Relentless no matter who was covering him, Wade made 11 of 26 shots and 18 of 24 free throws. Wade also had five rebounds and seven assists.

Wade went down hard on a flagrant foul by Spencer Hawes in overtime. After lying under the basket for over a minute, Wade got up and made one of two free throws for a 112-110 lead at the 2:01 mark.

“It’s basketball, sometimes there are hard fouls and hard falls,” Wade said. “You’ve got to get up and play. I hurt a lot of parts of my body onthat one fall.”

Kevin Martin and John Salmons scored 29 points for the Kings, who had a 10-point lead early in the fourth quarter but have now lost five straight and 11 of 12.

Rookie Michael Beasley came off the bench to score 23 points for the Heat. Mario Chalmers had 13 points and Udonis Haslem had 11.

It was Hawes rallying the Kings in the final minute. He hit a corner 3-pointer to get the Kings within a point with 10.4 seconds remaining. After Chalmers made one of two free throws, the Kings rushed downcourt and Hawes connected on 17-footer to tie the game at 104 with 3.1 seconds left. Wade shot an airball at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.

The Heat are on a seven-game, 12-day trip that began Wednesday with a loss in Denver. It’s only the third time in franchise history that Miami has played seven straight road games.

With an 8-29 record, the Kings are having the worst start to a season in the Sacramento era, which dates to 1985-86. Typically a good home team, even in their lean years, the Kings are now 6-12 at Arco Arena where the crowds have dwindled and the enthusiasm has waned.

“It’s obviously another disappointing loss after fighting so hard, having a chance to tie it up in regulation, gong to overtime and having a chance to win another basketball game,” Kings interim coach Kenny Natt said. “Then we let it slip away, so obviously we’re disappointed about that.”

Dwyane Wade in action – December

The Heat will take on the Los Angeles Lakers, the best team in the Western Conference on Friday. Dwyane has played ten career games against the Lakers. In those ten games:

45.1% from the field.

27.3% from 3pt.

78.9% from free throw.

3.6 rebounds per game.

6.2 assists per game.

3.9 turnovers per game.

2.0 steals per game.

24.9 points per game.

GO D-Wade and Heat!

That identity coach Erik Spoelstra said the Heat had gotten away from in recent weeks has apparently been replaced by another set of characteristics.

After Monday night’s 98-83 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks at AmericanAirlines Arena, classify the Heat as a team that is technically frustrated and officially struggling.

On the heels of its third consecutive loss, the Heat (12-12) appears to be facing adversity for the first time in what had been a promising start. Only a week ago, Miami was riding a four-game victory streak, with guard Dwyane Wade drawing early praise as a potential MVP candidate.

But three staggering losses later, the Heat is back to where it started the season — hoping to shed any resemblance of the team that finished a league-worst 15-67 last season.

”We have to stick together,” Spoelstra said of his team, which has lost three in a row by an average of 15 points. “It’s not about how you get into one of these stretches. It’s how you respond.”

For the third game in a row, the Heat fell into a 20-point deficit, played extended stretches without the energy and effort that had been its staple and staggered off the court looking for answers.

Michael Redd scored all of his team-high 21 points in the first half as the Bucks (11-15) raced to a huge lead, held off a much-too-late Heat rally and ended their six-game road losing streak.
