The Miami Heat held off the New Jersey Nets 90-89 Monday night at the American Airlines Arena. Dwayne Wade not only hit a crucial free throw with 5 seconds left in the game, but he blocked Vince Carter’s shot at the buzzer to win the game. Vince Carter was tough all night leading all scorers with 32 points. Dwayne Wade had 23 to lead the Heat. Some big minutes from Alonzo Mourning while Shaquille O’neal is out. Zo finished with 11 PTS and 11 TR also 5 BLK in 38 minutes. This was the most minutes he has played in a game since 2002.

Overall it was a team effort with everyone in the rotation scoring. Gary Payton chipped in 13 and Jason Kapano helped with 6 rounding the total bench scoring. This team looked good against a tough Nets team without Janes Posey and Shaquille O’neal. When they both comeback this team is gonna blow teams out.
