Heat-Warriors Preview

Things appear to be falling into place for the Miami Heat. A visit to the sputtering Golden State Warriors shouldn't pose too many problems, either.

The Heat look to extend their season-high winning streak to seven when they face the Warriors on Friday night.

Less than two weeks ago Miami (15-8) was being highly criticized while having trouble living up to the hype surrounding its Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh during a 1-4 stretch that included losses at Dallas and Orlando.

Winning six in a row by an average of 16.5 points has suddenly quieted those comments and concerns.

"We're playing better basketball," center Zydrunas Ilgauskas said. "If you look at the games, it's obvious. But we still have a ways to go."

While the Heat's winning streak has included victories over four sub-.500 teams, they made an impressive statement with a 111-98 win at Northwest Division-leading Utah on Wednesday.

"Right now every win is significant," said James, who had 33 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. "When you go into a building like this, a hostile environment with a team that's very good, great in this building, it's always good to get a win like this."

James is hitting 54.3 percent of his shots and has topped 30 points three times during the last six games, equaling his total over the first 17 with his new team.

The reigning two-time MVP, who leads Miami with averages of 24.1 points and 7.3 assists, could be in for another big performance against Golden State (8-14). He's averaging 28.8 points per game with 7.9 assists over 13 meetings, but 33.3 points with 10.3 assists in the last three.

Ilgauskas, James' former teammate in Cleveland, also appears to be getting more comfortable with his new club. He got his first double-double of the season Wednesday with 16 points and 10 rebounds after failing to score while totaling seven boards over the previous three games. His effort in the paint was a big reason Miami held a 42-28 rebounding advantage over the Jazz.

"The biggest thing is rebounding," Ilgauskas said. "We're winning all the rebounding battles game after game after game. Before we were not. We have the same guys, but we're doing it with more effort, doing it collectively."

Wade, who had 28 points Wednesday, is averaging 34.4 points in his last five meetings with the Warriors. That has been key to the Heat winning four in a row over Golden State, while taking five of the last six visits to Oakland.

The Warriors are mired in a 1-10 stretch that includes two season-high five-game losing streaks and a four-game slide at home. They haven't dropped five in a row at Oracle Arena since a six-game skid from March 1-24, 2002.

Golden State's most recent six-game slide occurred from March 2-11, and started with a 110-106 loss at Miami as Wade scored 35 points in the most recent matchup.

The Warriors lost star guard Stephen Curry to a sprained right ankle in the second quarter of a 111-94 defeat to the Spurs on Wednesday, Golden State's 25th straight loss in San Antonio.

Curry, whose status is uncertain, is second on the team with 20.1 points per game behind Monta Ellis (24.5).

"Any time you lose a talent, you drop down three or four levels," coach Keith Smart said.

Heat extend season-best winning streak to 7

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) LeBron James and the Miami Heat still have plenty of improving to do, the kind of strides James hopes will put this team in the championship hunt come June.

But things certainly seem to be clicking for the Heat at last following a recent funk.

Dwyane Wade had 34 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, James added 25 points, nine assists and seven rebounds and Miami won its season-best seventh straight game with a 106-84 victory over the cold-shooting Golden State Warriors on Friday night.

Miami also established a franchise best with seven consecutive wins by double digits, topping the six in a row in February 1999.

"Me and D-Wade have figured it out," James said. "We just started going back to our games, what made us who we are in this league. It's resulted in us playing good basketball, offensively and defensively."

The Heat, who lost three of four from Nov. 20-27, moved into first place in the Southeast Division for the first time all season after the Orlando Magic lost their season-high fourth straight at Utah.

Monta Ellis had 20 points and seven assists and Dorell Wright, who spent his first six seasons with Miami before joining the Warriors this year, added 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists in Golden State's season-worst sixth straight loss.

Chris Bosh added 16 points and seven rebounds in the Heat's fifth consecutive win over Golden State, mired in a 1-11 stretch. The Warriors dropped their fifth straight at Oracle Arena after beginning the season 5-0 at home. They haven't won on their own floor since Nov. 15 against Detroit.

"I'm not worried, because I think they are playing hard," first-year Golden State coach Keith Smart said. "I would be worried if this team didn't want to work anymore, if they didn't look like they were competing on the floor, then you would have some flags."

Golden State played without do-everything guard Stephen Curry, who could be sidelined for an extended period with a sprained right ankle that he re-aggravated in a 111-94 loss Wednesday at San Antonio. He will be re-evaluated in a couple of days once the swelling goes down.

James, booed regularly by the standing-room-only sellout crowd of 20,036, shot 10 for 18 and scored 15 of his points in the third quarter before sitting out the fourth. He took only 10 shots in the first half for 10 points, but dished out six assists.

Wade, averaging 34 points in his last six games against the Warriors, was 12 for 20 and converted 10 of 13 free throws to help extend the team's longest winning streak since running off nine in a row from March 20-April 7 last season. The Heat earned a fourth straight road win two days after a decisive 111-98 victory at Northwest Division-leading Utah.

They wrap up this trip Saturday night at Sacramento.

"It's good but it doesn't mean anything. It's still early in the season," Wade said. "Right now what's good is that we've won seven straight playing good basketball. We have a tough game tomorrow, probably the toughest game on this road trip because it's the last one and it's on a back-to-back. We can't have any letdowns."

Wade took an elbow to the head from Andris Biedrins 52 seconds into the game while defending Ellis on his first points of the night. Wade was down for about a minute before coming to the bench to be examined. He returned at the 8:14 mark.

Miami won for the sixth time in seven games at Oakland but didn't look great in the first half, leading just 48-45 at the break. But the Heat opened the third quarter with an 18-3 run to take control.

"They were just getting the ball off the rim and getting fast-break points," Wright said.

Reggie Williams and David Lee each scored 13 points for Golden State, which shot 37.3 percent and went 8 for 24 from 3-point range.

The Warriors hadn't dropped five in a row at home since a six-game skid from March 1-24, 2002.

Golden State's most recent six-game slide occurred from March 2-11, and started with a 110-106 loss at Miami as Wade scored 35 points in the most recent matchup.

NOTES: Warriors top draft pick Ekpe Udoh made his season debut after missing five months following surgery on his injured left wrist. ... Wright has double-doubles in four of his last five games. ... The Heat are 4-4 vs. the Western Conference, now 2-3 on the road. ... Wade was averaging 2.33 steals during the winning streak but didn't get one Friday. ... Wade did lead the team in rebounds for the sixth time in eight games and his team-best 10th game overall. ... Miami is 12-2 when forcing 14 or more turnovers. The Warriors had 15. ... Injured 49ers running back Frank Gore, Larry Baer - team president of the World Series champion San Francisco Giants - and super middleweight boxer Andre Ward were among those in attendance. Giants center fielder Andres Torres tossed T-shirts during a fourth-quarter timeout. ... It was the second sellout of the season at Oracle Arena.

Heat-Warriors notebook

By Geoff Lepper, for NBA.com
Posted Saturday December 11, 2010 2:00AM

THE FACTS: Dwyane Wade and LeBron James each made a run at a triple-double Friday before settling for the Miami Heat's seventh consecutive win, this one by a 106-84 count against the Golden State Warriors. Wade finished with 34 points, nine rebounds and seven assists and James had 25 points, seven boards and nine assists as Miami also posted its seventh straight win by a double-digit margin. Monta Ellis notched 20 points and seven assists but couldn't keep the Warriors from losing for the 11th time in 12 games.

QUOTABLE: "The second half, we got to look more to our identity: Defending and getting out in the open court. I think our guys are enjoying that, but understanding, more importantly, the correlation. You can't get out and run unless you're getting stops and rebounds -- and they were really committing to that. We were able to use our speed to get some easy ones up the court."
-- Miami coach Erik Spoelstra

THE STAT: Miami outstripped the Warriors' once-proud fast break, scoring 27 points in transition to Golden State's seven. The Heat went a perfect 10-for-10 from the field in those situations.

TURNING POINT: After allowing the Warriors to hang close through a 48-45 first half, Miami scored on its initial nine possessions in the third quarter to craft an 18-3 run. It was a share-and-share-alike kind of spree: All five Heat starters -- Wade, James, Chris Bosh, Carlos Arroyo and Zydrunas Ilgauskas -- scored during the run and four of the five -- Ilgauskas being the only exception -- had at least one assist.

HOT: If the Heat's run to open the third quarter was a team affair, the end of that period was all James. With Wade resting on the bench, James went to work, nailing three 3-pointers in the final 88 seconds to cap a 36-point quarter and push Miami's lead to a comfortable 84-65.

QUOTABLE II: "They were the top guys on their respective teams, so they know when to push the button. I think what you are starting to see from them, they are starting to not defer as much to each other. They're trying to see what is taking place and then when one guy has is going and has a mismatch, they will read that."
-- Warriors coach Keith Smart on James and Wade

NOT: With Stephen Curry's services lost because of a sprained right ankle, the Warriors desperately needed a big game from 2010 All-Star David Lee. But Bosh's pitiless defense completely smothered Lee, hounding him into 4-for-11 shooting through the first three quarters, when it was still a game.

INSIDE THE ARENA: James, who said before the game that he "didn't think we were going to be Team America when we all joined forces," received the loudest boos of any visiting player at Oracle Arena this season -- more than even Denver's Al Harrington, who all but staged a one-man strike to force a trade from the Warriors in November 2008. . . . San Francisco Giants outfielder Andres Torres and Oakland boxing star Andre Ward were in the crowd, as was Giants president Larry Baer, sitting in the front row next to Warriors owner Joe Lacob.

GOOD MOVE: The Heat used a combination of James and Wade on Ellis, betting that Arroyo and Mario Chalmers could handle high-scoring sub Reggie Williams, who was stepping into Curry's starting spot. The move paid off for Spoelstra; Williams went 4-for-11 for 13 points.

ROOKIE WATCH: After missing 22 games due to pre-season wrist surgery, Ekpe Udoh made his NBA debut at the 3:20 mark and knocked down his first professional shot. Udoh, the No. 6 selection in this summer's draft, hurt his left wrist in a pre-summer league workout at the Warriors facility on July 13. He underwent surgery the next day and was expected to be out until January at least or, in the worst-case, the All-Star break, but beat the predictions handily.

NOTABLE: The Heat set season highs in assists, with 33, and 3-point shooting, at 64.3 percent (9-for-14). . . . Miami center Erick Dampier, who elicited a negative reaction from his former fans of seven years, set a season-high with seven rebounds. . . . Curry missed the game with his fourth notable sprain of his right ankle this season, and the recurrences have Smart worried: "You've got to be concerned a little bit, just because now he's rolling it without stepping on someone. Now it's fatiguing out a little bit." Smart said Curry will be re-evaluated before the Warriors' next game, but given that they have a back-to-back Monday in Utah and Tuesday at home, followed by a three-day break, it's possible Golden State could sit Curry until Saturday's game in Portland. . . . Acie Law, signed by Golden State on Thursday in the wake of Curry's injury and Jeremy Lin's ineffectiveness, opened his second Warriors stint at the 11:00 mark of the second quarter. Law spent the first three weeks of last season with Golden State before being included in the Stephen Jackson fire sale to Charlotte. Law missed all four shots from the field, finishing with three points, three rebounds and an assist.
