Forwards Dorell Wright and Udonis Haslem also posteddouble-doubles, combining for 37 points and 24 rebounds as theHeat shot 59 percent (47-of-80) from the field en route to theirsecond straight win after a five-game losing streak. "It's the best win for us this year," Miami coach Pat Rileysaid. "We need them. Sometimes in April or March you'll lookback and say there might have been a breakthrough game, aconfidence game for you when you have to get through a lot ofstuff." It was the third consecutive 30-point game for Wade, who shot13-of-21 from the field and added six assists. "I'm getting more comfortable with my game especially with myjumper," Wade said. "I wanted to come out and be realaggressive early and out some pressure on them." The Heat also outrebounded the Suns, 46-29, while concludingtheir six-game road trip with a 2-4 record. "Now we need to develop some consistency," O'Neal said. "It wasa good game. We wanted to make a breakthrough game andeverybody played well." With the game tied at 80-80 late in the third quarter, Miamiused an 11-0 run to bridge the final two periods and led by atleast six points until the final minute of play. Grant Hill made a 3-pointer to cut the Suns' deficit to 110-105with 55 seconds remaining and, after Ricky Davis made one freethrow for the Heat, Steve Nash drilled a shot from the arc tocut Miami's lead to 111-108 with 32 seconds to play.

The Suns, who were coming off a 100-93 loss to Minnesota onSaturday, also allowed their opponents to top the 100-pointplateau for the ninth straight game. "The Heat is another team that we felt that we should have beenable to come out and stick it to them early," Suns guard RajaBell said. "They did a god job. They had some timely basketsand timely stops. It is hard to tell you what is not working." Wade made his first seven shots and scored 16 points as Miamishot 73 percent (19-of-25) from the field en route to a 40-29lead after the first quarter. Miami led by as many as 14 early in the second before Phoenixused an 11-2 run to cut the deficit to 60-57 with 2:01 left inthe first half. The Heat shot 68 percent (32-of-47) in thefirst half and led, 67-63, at the break. "We didn't do anything to put a stop on anybody," Phoenix coachMike D'Antoni said. "Then we had a hill to climb. The defensewas not fast to the ball, we are not getting to people and whenthey are scoring all those points it puts so much pressure onthe offense." The Heat built its lead back up to 11 points early afterhalftime, but the Suns went on a 13-2 run - keyed by seven fromBrian Skinner - to tie the game at 80-80 with 3:08 left in thethird. Shawn Marion and Amare Stoudemire each scored 19 points to leadseven Phoenix players in double figures.
