Heat-Bobcats Preview

With the playoffs fast approaching, the Miami Heat are being extremely cautious with their most important assets.

LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen will all be held out Friday night as the visiting Heat go for a 12th consecutive win over the NBA-worst Charlotte Bobcats.

While James (hamstring) went through some on-court work during Thursday's non-contact practice, Wade (leg) and Allen (ankle) were mostly limited to stretching and conditioning. The team announced after Friday morning's shootaround that none of them would play in this game.

All three injuries are considered minor, but the Heat (58-16) want to make sure they're healthy come the playoffs. Miami already has clinched the Eastern Conference's top seed.

"We still have time to work on our game. We want our guys to get rhythm," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "But they have to deal with these minor injuries right now. We're being very proactive and very aggressive. We're going to take care of them."

Point guard Mario Chalmers, though, did participate in practice Friday and was upgraded to a game-time decision. He's missed the last three games with a sprained ankle.

Wade and James have sat out the last two. Allen, meanwhile, was hurt during Tuesday's 102-90 loss to New York.

"We want to get those guys back as soon as possible," forward Udonis Haslem said. "But we have some time, eight games left? We have some time to get them back."

If Chalmers plays, he likely would be joined in the starting backcourt by Mike Miller while Norris Cole heads back to a reserve role. Rashard Lewis could start again in place of James along with Haslem and Chris Bosh in the frontcourt. Bosh, averaging 16.7 points, has scored 23 in each of the last two games.

"The No. 1 thing, obviously, is try to get as healthy as we can," Spoelstra said. "Obviously, that's a priority. From there, we have time to still try to improve - not just stay in rhythm, but to improve, and also get these guys an opportunity that haven't been getting minutes to play in these meaningful minutes."

Even without its top players, Miami should still have a good chance against Charlotte (18-57). The Heat have outscored the Bobcats by average of 14.7 points during their run in the series, including a 109-77 rout March 24.

James had 32 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds that day while Wade sat out due to knee troubles.

Although the Bobcats average 93.5 points to rank 27th in the league, they have posted 103.2 in winning five of six at home. Charlotte, though, used a stifling defensive display to beat Philadelphia 88-83 on Wednesday, holding the 76ers to 35.1 percent shooting.

"We rotated, we helped, we talked and we were together," said Kemba Walker, who had 17 points, 10 assists and five steals. "That's what it's all about. If a guy gets beat, he expects a teammate to help him. That's what we did."

Gerald Henderson also came up big again with 24 points and Josh McRoberts added 12 and a career-high 16 boards. Henderson is averaging 23.6 points - 8.2 more than his season mark - on 52.4 percent shooting over the last 12 games.

Despite the Bobcats' offensive improvements in Charlotte, they'll likely be tested by the Heat, who have limited opponents to 90.8 points per game in winning 15 of 16 on the road.

Miller, injury-depleted Heat topple Bobcats 89-79

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) The Miami Heat were without LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen on Friday night.

That didn't matter against the NBA-worst Charlotte Bobcats.

With a threesome averaging a combined 59 points per game sitting on the bench due to injuries, the Heat showed they can still win in a variety of ways - which on this night meant perimeter shooting and stingy defense.

Mike Miller, who had played only sparingly up until two weeks ago, scored a season-high 26 points on seven 3-pointers as the injury-depleted Heat beat the Bobcats 89-79.

The 33-year-old Miller was 7 of 11 from beyond the 3-point arc, not bad for a guy who only scored a combined 41 points during January and February.

Chris Bosh chipped in with 18 points and eight rebounds, and Rashard Lewis added 14 points for Miami, which improved to 3-2 since Chicago snapped its 27-game winning streak.

"Right now it's time for the guys who haven't been getting a lot of playing time to get a rhythm in case they need us in the playoffs," Miller said.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra expects at some point the Heat will need Miller to make another run at an NBA title.

"He is a big-time weapon that we have," Spoelstra said. "He has absolutely bought into the sacrifice. You know the long season of an 82-game season, this is probably the healthiest he has ever been at this time of year and you see his value. He can strike it hot at any moment and go on a string of four, five, or six in a row."

The Heat held the Bobcats to 31.8 percent shooting from the field, their best defensive performance of the season.

The Bobcats scored just eight points in the third quarter on 3 of 18 shooting and the Heat opened a 13-point lead.

They never trailed again.

The Heat held Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker, Charlotte's two hottest players, to a combined 5 of 31 shooting from the floor.

"If you don't defend, you don't play on this team," said Miami's Shane Battier. "We know what butters our bread. If you play hard on the defensive end, you get a three."

With the Heat having secured the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs, Spoelstra took no chances and rested James and Wade for a third straight game, as well as Allen, who tweaked his ankle earlier this week after tripping over a cameraman.

The Heat decided to win or lose with the 3-pointer, which played right into Miller's hands.

Although he looked at times like his legs were creaky and tired, Miller's shot remained as smooth as ever.

"Mike can really stretch the floor," Bosh said. "He's an underrated playmaker. He can hit guys and put them in scoring positions. He just knows how to play basketball. A lot of people forget sometimes because he is on a team that is very, very deep but when his number is called he is always ready. "

Miami (59-16) is within three victories of setting a new franchise record for wins in a regular season.

Rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Bobcats, who lost for only the second time in their last seven home games.

Henderson has been a catalyst for the Bobcats in recent weeks, averaging 22.9 points on 51 percent shooting over the past 14 games. He started out strong with eight points in the first quarter but quickly went cold and failed to score in the second and third quarters.

He got frustrated with the officiating, even drawing a technical foul in the second half. Henderson finished with 11 points on 2-of-16 shooting.

Walker had 12 points and shot 3 of 15.

"They made me give the ball up," Walker said. "I tried coming off ball screens but they were just always in the right spots. They collapsed on me. When I did get some shot opportunities I didn't get them to fall."

That was by design.

"The first thing we always talk about every day and when we come into training camp is our defense," Bosh said. "Especially with this group we have to play good defense to give ourselves a chance to win. I think we gave a good effort tonight and pretty much every night for that effort. We have locked up pretty well."

NOTES: Mario Chalmers returned for the Heat after missing the last three games with a sprained ankle and finished with six points and seven assists. ... This is the first time James has missed three consecutive games since signing with the Heat. ... Mike Hatchett Jr., a Bobcats fan from Columbia, S.C., won $7,777 when he swished a shot from halfcourt during a casino-sponsored promotion in the fourth quarter.

Notebook: Heat 89, Bobcats 79

Derek S. Smith, for NBA.com
Posted Sat Apr 06, 2013 12:01 AM - Updated Sat Apr 06, 2013 12:01 AM

THE FACTS: The Miami Heat were without LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Ray Allen, but its veteran bench stepped up to make a difference on both ends of the court. Mike Miller scored a season-high 26 points to lead a depleted Heat squad to an 89-79 win over the Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena Friday night.

Chris Bosh added 18 points and Rashard Lewis 14 for the Heat (59-16). Michael Kidd-Gilchrist led the Bobcats (18-58) with 18 points and 14 rebounds as Charlotte lost for the 12th straight time to Miami.

QUOTABLE: "Mike [Miller] was hot from behind the arc tonight and was very impressive. He's a big time weapon that we have. He's bought into the sacrifice and the long season and how he's a value for us. He can strike it hot at any moment and was invaluable for us without Dwayne and LeBron out there."

--Miami coach Erik Spoelstra

THE STAT: Miami took advantage of one of its strengths and one of the Bobcats biggest weaknesses. The 3-point shot. The Bobcats are 29th in the league in 3-point field goal defense and allow a league-worst 8.8 on 3s per game. Tonight, Miami made 13 from behind the arc and sank 37.9 percent of its attempts. Charlotte is now 2-30 on the season when the opposing team makes 10 or more 3-pointers. They allow 9.5 makes in their losses this year and give up just 6.2 in the wins.

TURNING POINT: The Heat came out aggressively on the offensive end to start the second half and quickly built a double-digit lead. Mike Miller's 3 with 8:37 to play in the third put Miami ahead 57-47. The Heat's defense stopped Gerald Henderson on the defensive end and then connected with Mario Chalmers for a floater and a 12-point lead.

QUOTABLE II: "It's the Miami Heat way. Defense leads us to offense. Tonight, we made enough shots to win the game. I just wanted to get out there and be aggressive. I feel great right now. My body feels good. I'm healthy for once and I just want to get out here and compete and contribute. "

--Miami guard Mike Miller

HOT: Miller was on fire for the Heat for much of the game against Charlotte. Miller got the start in place of the injured Wade and scored a game- and season-high 26 points. Miller was 9-of-15 from the floor and more importantly connected on 7 of his 11 attempts from the 3-point line. He also added four assists and five rebounds in 30 minutes of action. It was his first game of 25 or more since scoring 32 against Toronto on January 22, 2011.

NOT: The Bobcats duo of Kemba Walker and Henderson is normally a barometer of the team's success. Tonight, they combined for just 23 points and 5-for-31 shooting. Henderson entered the game averaging almost 26 points in his previous five contests. He scored eight points in the first quarter, but tallied only three the rest of the way to finish 2-for-16 from the field. Walker wasn't much better from the field with a 3-for-15 night.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Bosh has been the clear beneficiary of the rest given to James, Wade and Allen over the last three games. He scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds while dishing out six assists in the win over Charlotte. Bosh gave the Heat the game winning bucket against San Antonio and led the team in scoring two of the past three games. He has put up solid numbers, averaging 21.3 points while shooting 50.0 percent (21-for-42) from the field, 45.4 percent from 3 (5-for-11), and 94.4 percent (17-for-18) from the free-throw line.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Despite being inactive for the game, James was out on the Time Warner Cable Arena floor getting in a pre-game workout. James came on the floor after those playing for the Heat cleared the floor and then signed autographs for those waiting before heading back to the locker room. Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera was in attendance, as well as Actor John Cho. A fan hit a half court shot in the Harrah's Cherokee Casino Lucky 7's contest during the fourth quarter and walked away with $7,777.

ROOKIE WATCH: Kidd-Gilchrist was spectacular for the Bobcats. He was tops for the Bobcats in both points (18) and rebounds (14) in 38 minutes of action. The 14 boards was a career high. Jeffery Taylor returned from an injured foot to play six minutes and scored three points.

NOTABLE: Josh McRoberts recorded double-figure rebounds for the third straight game becoming the first Bobcats player to do so since Gerald Wallace did so from February 4-7, 2011. ... Walker and Henderson both scored in double figures for the 18th straight game. Walker also recorded his 27th game this season with three or more steals. ... The Bobcats grabbed a season-high and franchise-record tying 23 offensive rebounds. ... The Miami Heat have now won 12 straight over the Bobcats and swept the season series. It's the third longest active winning streak against an opponent for Miami. ... The 59 wins by Miami is the second most in franchise history. Their 59-16 start is the best start through 75 games in franchise history. They are just two shy of the record of 61 wins set during the 1996-97 campaign. ... The 31.8 percent shooting by Charlotte was a season-low for the Miami defense.

UP NEXT: For the Heat, Saturday vs. Philadelphia, Tuesday vs. Milwaukee, Wednesday @ Washington. For the Bobcats, Saturday @ Brooklyn, Tuesday @ Memphis Friday @ Detroit.
