Wade beats buzzer with game winner for Heat(Agencies)
Updated: 2007-12-23 17:01 MIAMI - Dwyane Wade beat the buzzer with a 20-foot jumper that bounced on the rim and went in to give the Miami Heat a 104-102 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Miami had blown a 16-point lead and were trailing with under a minute to go before Wade rescued the home team. Utah's C.J. Miles scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and the Jazz rallied to take their only lead of the half with 46.3 seconds remaining. Daequan Cook answered with a three-pointer to put Miami ahead but Carlos Boozer tied the game for Utah before Wade delivered. Shaquille O'Neal scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Heat, while Cook had 15 points. Deron Williams led the Jazz with 22 points. * Tim Duncan scored 34 points and captured 18 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Los Angeles Clippers 99-90. The Spurs' Tony Parker, who returned from a four-game layoff from a sprained ankle, scored 18 points and made six assists. Rookie Al Thornton scored 25 points and Chris Kaman had 20 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. Both teams lost players to first-half injuries with San Antonio's Manu Ginobili spraining a finger on his left hand, while the Clippers' Tim Thomas sprained a left knee. * The Indiana Pacers scored a 93-85 victory over the Washington Wizards with Danny Granger scoring 11 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter. Jermaine O'Neal posted 18 points and eight rebounds. Kareem Rush added 15 points for the Pacers. The Wizards, without starters Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler and Antonio Daniels, lost their third successive game and relied on Antawn Jamison who scored 29 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. * Rookie Yi Jianlian scored a season-high 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while Michael Redd added 27 points to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 103-99 win over the Charlotte Bobcats. Jason Richardson scored 30 for the Bobcats, who arrived at the arena just 60 minutes before tip off because of travel problems, thus delaying the start of the game by 15 minutes. |
