Wade’s 34 lifts Heat past Nets, 102-89
MIAMI, Fla. — More than four hours before game time, Dwyane Wade was alone on the Miami Heat practice court, just getting some shots up by himself. No coaches around, no teammates, no trainers, just him, a ball and his thoughts.
It sparked his best scoring effort of the season.
Wade scored 34 points, LeBron James added 21 and the Heat rallied from a 14-point deficit to beat theBrooklyn Nets 102-89 on Saturday night to remain atop the Eastern Conference.
“I knew this was a big game for us, to come in versus a team that’s been playing very well,” Wade said. “And I wanted to sure I came out ready. So I wanted to get in early and made sure I did everything possible.”
