Wade Drops In 30 To Lead Heat Over 76ers, 97-87
PHILADELPHIA (CBS4) - What a difference a day makes. The new-look Miami Heat made short work of the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night during a 97-87 victory in Philadelphia.
Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh have their first win with Miami, and the Big Three got help from some big 3s in the Heat's 97-87 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
Playing with purpose a night after an 88-80 loss in a hyped showdown with Boston, the three looked as if they still need some games to get used to playing with each other.
Only Wade, with 30 points, looked particularly sharp against the Sixers. The Heat hit three straight 3-pointers in the third quarter to bust open an eight-point halftime lead.
James scored 16 points and Bosh had 15. James and the Heat just couldn't squash the Sixers, who went on a 15-3 run late in the fourth to make it surprisingly competitive.
The Heat have Thursday off and will return home to prepare for Friday's home-opener against the Orlando Magic.
