Kings-Heat: 300k

"Our confidence is really high right now," Wade said. "We're working really well together and seem to be on the same page."
Miami coach Stan Van Gundy said the combination of O'Neal and Wade is starting to click on all cylinders.
"They're playing so solid in terms of making decisions, reading rotations and distributing the ball," Van Gundy said. "(Shaq) was shredding them with passes, and Dwyane was playing at a high level."
Eddie Jones chipped in 17 points, Damon Jones added 14 and Udonis Haslem had 11 and 13 rebounds for the Heat, who improved to 24-5 at home this season and won for the 11th time in 13 games overall.
Sacramento, which allowed Miami to shoot 51 percent (42-of-83), capped a six-game road trip at 2-4. The Kings also completed a 4-6 stretch in which they played just once at home.
"We are a tired team and it really showed," Sacramento coach Rick Adelman said. "We just didn't have any energy tonight. We just couldn't get any spark going at all."
The Kings trailed, 48-47, after a jumper by Darius Songaila with 10:26 left in the third quarter. But Wade countered with a jumper and O'Neal a layup, and the Heat soon broke open the contest.
"We played good team ball," O'Neal said. "Flash (Wade) was Flash, that's just what he does. We work really well together, and it showed again tonight."
Miami pushed its advantage to 78-66 entering the fourth quarter and led by as many as 21 points in the final period.
Playing his first home game since signing with the Heat earlier in the week, Alonzo Mourning entered with 3:37 remaining and immediately blocked a shot by Kenny Thomas and grabbed the rebound. He finished with four points.
"Wow, that was special. It's great to be back home," said Mourning, who played here from 1995-2002. "It brought back memories and I appreciate that reception and want to bring a championship here. The fans and this city are always going to have a place in my heart."
O'Neal was Mourning's biggest cheerleader.
"When the fans were shouting, 'We want Zo,' I was shouting, 'We want Zo," O'Neal said. "I'm very glad to have him here."
Mike Bibby scored 22 points and Cuttino Mobley added 17 for the Kings, who were swept of the season series by the Heat. Miami posted a 109-107 road win on December 23.
"We didn't make any stops and they were hitting shots," Bibby said. "After a while, it just got out of hand. I'll be happy when we get home, and we'll go on from there."
