"LeBron and Chris were brilliant offensively and shouldered a big load," Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said. "In the second half, after we defended and those two guys generated a lot of offense, we were able to execute and trust and the other guys were able to get involved." Mike Miller, who had missed the first 12 games with a sports hernia, scored 18 points in a winning effort and helped Miami kick off a five-game homestand on a positive note. The Heat are 4-1 at home this season and will also welcome the 76ers, Bucks and Cavs to south Florida. They are averaging a league-best 107.2 points per game and holding the opposition to 99.2 ppg.

The Lakers hold an all-time record of 29-17 against Miami. Mavericks vs Jazz (Sports Network) - Utah, perhaps the most surprising team in the Western Conference, will aim to continue its stellar play at home against the reigning NBA champion Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavs also played the Clips in their last contest on Wednesday but werent as lucky, dropping a tough 91-89 decision at Staples Center despite Pauls continued absence due to a hamstring problem. Chauncey Billups picked up the slack by hitting his first "Big Shot" for LA in that one, draining a go-ahead three-pointer with one second left in regulation to give the Clippers the victory, their first over Dallas in over three years. Four seconds prior to Billups make, Jason Terry had hit a straightaway three after coming off a double-screen at the top of the key to give Dallas the lead, 89-88. But the Clippers drew up a play for Billups, who inbounded the ball along the right sideline and passed to Blake Griffin. Jason Kidd lost Billups in the exchange, and "Mr. Big Shot" hit nothing but the bottom of the net from the right wing. "I was a little surprised I was that open," Billups said. "I got some separation and made the shot." Dallas desperation lob fell short prior to the buzzer, putting an end to the Clippers 10-game losing streak to the Mavs. Dirk Nowitzki and Delonte West each scored 17 points to lead the Mavs, who also suffered a last-second loss to the Lakers at Staples Center on Monday.
