PHILADELPHIA (AP) Hassan Whiteside had 19 points and 19 rebounds, Dwyane Wade scored 21 points and the Miami Heat beat the Philadelphia 76ers 112-102 on Friday night for their fourth straight win.

Goran Dragic added 15 points and 11 assists for the Heat. Luol Deng scored 13 points and Joe Johnson, Amar'e Stoudemire and Gerald Green had 12 points each.

Ish Smith had 26 points, eight rebounds and five assists and Robert Covington scored 25 points for the depleted 76ers, who were missing several key players. Philadelphia has lost 11 straight.

The Heat improved to 7-2 since losing Chris Bosh to a blood clot in his calf. They are 4-0 since signing Johnson after the seven-time All-Star agreed to a buyout with the Brooklyn Nets.
