    This was vintage Dwyane Wade, and he knew exactly what he was doing.

    He intentionally fouled Ben Simmons in the final seconds of a tie game, usually an absolute no-no. He didn't give the ball up on the ensuing possession with his team down by one, choosing instead to decide the outcome himself.

    The foul? Brilliant.

    The shot? Even better.

    Wade scored 15 of Miami's final 17 points, finished with a season-high 27 and his jumper with 5.9 seconds remaining lifted the Heat to a 102-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night. And yes, he punctuated the gamewinner with the "this is my house" signal and yell to the crowd, as if there was any doubt that he somehow lost the deed to the building during his stints in Chicago and Cleveland.
