Miami Heat’s ‘crunch-time lineup’ seals the deal

PHILADELPHIA – It was the Miami Heat Dwyane Wade and LeBron James envisioned when they came together in the summer of 2010.

Finally, with eight minutes left against Philadelphia on Friday night, the long-awaited lineup of Wade, James, Chris Bosh, Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem was on the court and fully healthy. Man, was it magical.

It only took five minutes for that lineup to blow open an otherwise competitive game and run off 15 straight points. The end result was a convincing 99-79 victory against the streaking Sixers, which celebrated an impressive win against the Bulls just two days earlier in the same building.

“That’s the lineup that we all brought here to play,” Wade said. “That was the lineup everyone who decided to sacrifice to come back here, what we envisioned, so anytime we can get that lineup on the court, it’s a versatile lineup and we can run different things and do different things and it’s a good rebounding lineup as well.”

The Heat (17-6) led by just eight points when James checked into the game for rookie Norris Cole, inheriting the point guard duties. Minutes later, Wade’s back-to-back dunks put the Heat ahead by 23 points. Wade had nine points in the fourth quarter, James had six assists and the Heat emerged with newfound confidence only one game after blowing a huge lead to the Milwaukee Bucks.

“Probably the best game from start to finish communicating this season,” said James, who finished with 19 points to go along with 12 rebound and eight assists.

Wade led the Heat with 26 points, shooting 10 of 20 from the field. It was his best all-around game since returning from his sprained ankle.
