Suns, Nets swap forwards in early season deal

Early season trades are usually few and far between in the NBA, and we had our first one of the year Saturday night, when two young teams, who have surprised so far this season made a move to perhaps make a playoff push they didn't see coming when the season started. The Phoenix Suns sent forwards Alan Williams, and T.J. Warren to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Forwards Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, and Quincy Acy. It's a homecoming for Hollis-Jefferson who played his college ball down in Tuscon at the University of Arizona.

Heat Fall to Lowly Knicks

Despite Whiteside's career night, sluggish Heat can't take down New York

New York - Hassan Whiteside had an unreal performance going for 27 points, and 32 rebounds on the night, but no one else on the Heat seemed to have anything in the tank as they dropped both games in the back to back, this time to the New York Knicks 96-88. Kristaps Porzingis had 24 and 10 for the Knicks who handed Miami their first back to back losses of the season. Miami finished a disappointing 1-3 on the road trip, and will now head home to host the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night from American Airlines Arena.

Heat Outlast Hornets in OT

Wade's season high 33 leads Miami to crucial win

Miami - After losing their last two games, and a date Sunday with the defending champion Warriors looming, the Miami Heat knew Friday's game against the Hornets would be a vital match-up. It took overtime to get it done, but the Heat squeaked out a 106-102 win over their division rivals. Dwyane Wade led the way for Miami with 33 points, while Hassan Whiteside put up his second straight 32 rebound performance. Miami surrendered an 8 point fourth quarter lead, but erupted for 17 in the OT period to secure the win. In an interesting note, Kemba Walker played all 53 minutes for Charlotte taking 36 shots in the game leading the Hornets with 27. Miami as mentioned before will now rest for a night before the Golden State Warriors come to American Airlines Arena Sunday.
