Bosh's 20, Wade's bounce-back lead Heat over Mavericks 93-90
DALLAS (AP) -- Chris Bosh scored 20 points, Dwyane Wade bounced back with 18 after matching the worst shooting half of his career and the Miami Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks 93-90 Wednesday night.
Luol Deng finished with 15 points, including his only 3-pointer for a 92-87 lead with 1:04 remaining. The Heat improved to 9-1 against the Mavericks with their fourth sweep in five seasons since losing to Dallas in the 2011 NBA Finals.
Wade scored 16 points in the second half after going 1 of 11 before halftime, his first points coming with just 48 seconds left in the second quarter.
Dirk Nowitzki also had a rough first half, but came back with 20 of his 28 points after halftime to lead Dallas, which played without Deron Williams after he injured his right hip in a collision two nights earlier in Atlanta.
