Wade's 28 lifts Miami over OKC in wild game, 97-95
MIAMI (AP) Dwyane Wade scored 28 points, including two free throws with 1.5 seconds left that put Miami ahead to stay and the Heat topped the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-95 on Thursday night, in a wild back-and-forth game that featured 38 lead changes and 11 ties.
Chris Bosh scored 16 points, Goran Dragic added 14 and Josh McRoberts scored 12 for Miami, which survived when Russell Westbrook's 3-point try from the right wing bounced off the backboard as time expired.
Westbrook and Kevin Durant each scored 25 for Oklahoma City, which misfired on a pair of 3s in the final 10 seconds. Durant missed a 3-pointer and Bosh grabbed the rebound, calling time with 7.7 seconds remaining.
That set up the possession where Wade drove, drew a foul on Serge Ibaka and put Miami ahead for good.
