Kings-Heat Preview

LeBron James and the Miami Heat have proven unbeatable since the first of the month.

A visit from the sputtering Sacramento Kings isn't likely to slow them down.

Looking to extend the NBA's longest active winning streak, Miami tries to continue its recent dominance of a Kings team on the verge of its longest losing streak of the season.

Since falling 102-89 at Indiana on Feb. 1, Eastern Conference-leading Miami (40-14) has outscored opponents by an average of 12.9 points during a season-high 11-game winning streak. The Heat, shooting a league-best 49.5 percent, have posted an even more impressive 52.1 mark during their run.

Miami has gone an NBA-leading 31-6 over the last three Februarys since LeBron James and Chris Bosh joined Dwyane Wade in South Beach in 2010-11.

"This is when we make our mark, become legends or whatever the case may be," said James, who earned his 42nd player of the week award Monday - the most in NBA history. "This is the best time of the year. We understand that spring is on its way and we're gearing up for it. We're playing some really, really good ball right now as a team."

James has played a huge role during Miami's run, posting 28.9 points per game on a remarkable 65.5 percent from the floor. The three-time league MVP has shot at least 52.6 percent in 13 straight games.

"I understand what this time is all about. I understand going through February, March and then April, what the games bring," he said.

"I can't sit here and say that a February game is the same as an October game. ... It's good to be in a situation where we can play ball at the right time."

The Heat survived a close call Sunday in a 109-105 win over Cleveland. After going up by as many as 22 points early in the third quarter, Miami was forced to rally from eight points down with under five minutes to play.

"We're a veteran ballclub and we've been in every situation that an NBA game can offer us," said James, who had 28 points and eight assists against his former team. "We don't get too high, we don't get too low, we just play the 48 minutes out and see where it takes us."

Wade also came up big with 24 points, including 11 over the final 4:50.

"We found a way," said Wade. "In the fourth, you just find it. ... We just turned that other switch on."

The Heat haven't had much difficulty getting things going against the Kings (19-38), who have dropped 16 of 17 in the series, including the last eight by an average of 19.5 points.

Miami cruised to a 128-99 win at Sacramento on Jan. 12, behind a franchise record-tying 10 3-pointers and career-high 34 points from Mario Chalmers. Kings guard Isaiah Thomas also had a career-high 34 points that night.

Sacramento is coming off its fifth straight loss and 13th in 16 games, 110-95 at New Orleans on Sunday. The Kings shot a season-high 63.2 percent from long distance (12 for 19) but made just 23 of 64 (35.9 percent) from inside the arc.

"We missed so many layups and opportunities to score at the rim, that's going to hurt you," said coach Keith Smart, whose team has been outscored by an average of 16.5 points during a season-high eight-game road skid. "When you get opportunities to get into the paint, you have to finish."

John Salmons was one of six Kings to score in double figures Sunday, recording 18 points on a career-high six 3s in seven attempts. He missed his other seven shots, though. Thomas added 16 and is averaging 19.5 over the last eight games.

The Kings have dropped five straight three times this season but haven't lost six in a row since a seven-game slide April 3-13.

Heat win 12th straight, outlast Kings in 2OT

MIAMI (AP) Heat coach Erik Spoelstra summed up the efforts of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in three words: "Video game numbers," he said.

Both put up monster stat lines.

And the Miami Heat needed them.

James scored 40 points and added a career-high 16 assists, Wade had 39 points, and the Heat pushed their winning streak to 12 games by outlasting the Sacramento Kings 141-129 in double overtime on Tuesday night.

"Some great stat lines tonight," James said. "But I'm happy I was able to do what I did and help our team win."

Great stat lines might be calling it an understatement. Consider:

- A season high in scoring for James, who capped off the best shooting month of his career.

- A season high in scoring for Wade, who tied a career best with 19 field goals.

- A 36-point night for the Kings' Marcus Thornton, the most by any non-starter in the NBA this season.

- The 141 points tied a Heat franchise record, set in 1991.

- Add James' assists to the mix, and he put up the NBA's first night of at least 40 points and 16 assists since April 1994. The man who did it then? None other than Phoenix guard Kevin Johnson, now, ironically enough, the mayor of Sacramento. And for February, James finished 139 for 217 from the floor, that 64.1 percent clip the best of his career for any month.

"It was a great atmosphere," said Thornton, who made 11 of 18 shots, including 8 of 12 from 3-point range. "To be able to take that team to two overtimes just shows the testament of us growing. A team like that - championship team - they play great together. Obviously I hate losing but it was a great effort by us."

Ray Allen added 21, Chris Bosh finished with 15 and Chris Andersen had 10 for the Heat, who remained six games clear of second-place Indiana in the Eastern Conference standings.

Miami's 12-game winning streak is the longest in the NBA and matches the second-longest in franchise history.

Tyreke Evans scored 26 points for Sacramento. DeMarcus Cousins finished with 24 points and 15 rebounds, John Salmons added 15 and Isaiah Thomas 14 for the Kings, who lost their sixth straight.

"They've got a couple of guys that can turn the notch up pretty quickly," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "LeBron and Dwyane played an incredible game. It took a Superman-type game from both of those guys."

Smart said before the game that sometimes "great teams get a little bored with the regular season and they need something to get them going."

The Heat didn't seem to be bored by the second overtime.

After a late non-call that James wanted, he simply seemed mad.

James scored inside to open the second extra session, yelling "and one" at referees as his way of insisting he was fouled as well. But after one sensational sequence, the game was pretty much sealed.

Thornton had a chance to give the Kings the lead after a Heat turnover, but his shot at the rim was blocked by Wade, who came down and set up James for a 3-pointer - a five-point swing, in essence, and the Heat had a 131-127 lead. James scored again, then added two free throws and found Bosh for a dunk and 10-point lead with 1:29 remaining.

"It's tough but this is a loss I consider a good loss," Cousins said. "Our effort tonight was incredible. We come out and play like that every night, we can beat a lot of teams."

Sacramento fell to 1-17 against Miami since March 2004.

James was perfect in the second overtime: 3-for-3 from the field, 4-for-4 from the line. He had more points (11-5), rebounds (3-0), and assists (3-1) in the final five minutes than the Kings had combined.

"No matter what their record is, they made plays just like us. They gave everything they had and more," James said.

The Heat missed key free throws late in both regulation and the first overtime - Wade missing a pair with 21 seconds left in the fourth, and James missed one of two with 29.3 seconds left in the opening extra session.

Those two free throws were the only ones Wade was awarded all night.

"I knew we came out a little flat and they came out so free," Wade said. "So I told myself to be a little aggressive and kept us afloat a little bit. And in the overtime, LeBron got going a little bit. We kept going to him and he delivered."

In the first OT, the Kings had a chance for the late lead and potentially the win, but Thomas had a layup blocked by Bosh, and Allen grabbed the rebound for the Heat with 5.7 seconds left.

Miami put the ball in Wade's hands, and he found James near the basket. James' shot missed, and he complained he was fouled by Salmons on the attempt. Referees disagreed with that, but after a lengthy review to determine possession, they awarded Miami the ball with 0.4 seconds remaining. It was much ado for nothing, as Bosh's shot sailed long and the teams went to double overtime.

The game was tied at 92 midway through the fourth before Wade - with six points and an assist - led a 13-4 run that looked like it would give Miami breathing room. Miami was up 105-96, and still led 112-104 when James scored with 1:40 remaining.

Sacramento roared back, scoring the final eight points of regulation. Thornton hit a pair of 3-pointers, the second coming with 23 seconds left to get the Kings within 112-110. And after Wade missed a pair of free throws, Cousins grabbed an offensive rebound and laid it back with 8.5 seconds remaining to knot the game at 112-all.

Out of a timeout, the Heat went to Wade, whose step-back 20-footer bounced off the rim as time expired, sending it to overtime.

They were just getting started. And when it was over, the Heat streak survived.

"We're coming together," James said. "We're doing it the right way. We're executing offensively. We're sharing the ball. And we're not getting rattled. We've been in some crazy games. We just stay the course and figure out a way to get the victory."

NOTES: Miami finished February with a 12-1 record, with the one loss to start the month. ... The Heat have allowed 68 third-quarter points in their last two games, both at home. They gave up 67 third-quarter points in their previous three games, all on the road. ... One day after celebrating his 24th birthday, Kings G Jimmer Fredette did not play. ... The Heat played without F Shane Battier, sidelined by right hamstring tightness. He's day-to-day.

Notebook: Heat 141, Kings 129

Zachary Paul, for NBA.com
Posted Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:36 PM - Updated Tue Feb 26, 2013 11:36 PM

THE FACTS: The Miami Heat defeated the Sacramento Kings 141-129 in double-overtime Tuesday at AmericanAirlines Arena.

For the Heat, it was the second consecutive game they needed a strong late-game surge to keep their winning streak alive. Miami has now won a season-high 12 straight games, the most in the Big Three era.

Once again, it was forward LeBron James and guard Dwyane Wade leading the way. James finished with a game-high 40 points, a season-high 16 assists and eight rebounds while Wade added a season-high 39 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

The Heat trailed by as many as eight in the first half before regrouping early in the fourth quarter. Miami completed a similar comeback Sunday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, with Wade scoring 15 fourth-quarter points.

The Kings pulled to within 112-110 on consecutive 3-pointers by Marcus Thornton, the last coming with 23 seconds left. After Wade missed two free throws, Sacramento responded with a put-back basket by center DeMarcus Cousins to force overtime.

Center Chris Bosh missed a jumper that would have won it in overtime before the Heat took control in the second extra session.

Sacramento was led by Thornton's 38 points.

QUOTABLE: "It was probably felt like 20 innings if it were a baseball game. But we needed double-overtime and we did it."
-- James

THE STAT: The 141 points by the Heat tied a franchise record.

TURNING POINT: The Heat started the second overtime with an 11-3 run to take control.

QUOTABLE II: "We had every opportunity to win that game but it didn't fall our way this time. We had a game where two players had to get 40 and 39 points to put us away and I thought our guys stayed right there on the number."
-- Kings coach Keith Smart

HOT: Wade had his second consecutive strong game, making 13 of his first 20 shots. Finally healthy, he is easily playing his best basketball of the season. The plus for the Heat when Wade scores is James can focus on intangibles such as defense and rebounding.

NOT: Bosh was a non-factor for most part. Some of it was because of Wade and James playing so well, but Bosh struggled with his shot all the game. The Heat went to him early, but his opportunities declined as the misses piled.

GOOD MOVE: Joel Anthony has all but been removed from the rotation in favor of Chris Andersen. On this night, it was beneficial. Andersen served the same "energy" role as Anthony but also scored a season-high 10 points.

BAD MOVE: The Kings had a chance to capitalize with Bosh being ineffective but they allowed Andersen and Allen to produce. Their combined scoring was more than enough to offset Bosh's play.

NOTABLE: Miami forward Shane Battier did not play because of a sore hamstring. He is expected to return for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies ... The Heat improved to 25-3 at home ... The Kings have now lost nine straight road games ... James recorded his 25th double-double of the season ... Thornton's point-total was the highest the Heat allowed to a reserve this season.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Friday vs. Grizzlies, Sunday @ Knicks, Monday @ Timberwolves. For the Kings, Wednesday @ Magic, Friday @ Spurs, Sunday vs. Bobcats.
