Mandatory Credit: Steve Mitchell-US PRESSWIRE Wade led an aggressive Heat attack on both ends in the game’s final quarter, shutting down the Suns for almost six minutes and getting to the free throw line to shoot 13-16, which gave the Heat a much-needed boost to ultimately take the game from the Suns.
Phoenix led for most of the second half, after closing out the first half on a 13-2 run to get its first lead in Miami. The lead held and eventually grew to 10 points with seven and a half minutes left, thanks in large part to their usually effective bench work, and the Suns were threatening Miami’s 13-game home winning streak, but Miami’s run deleted Phoenix’s second-half work.
