Game Recap: Not the best way to kick off Pau Gasol's start as a member of the Miami Heat. He may have had a strong game getting 8 points and 7 rebounds in just 20 minutes of work, but sadly the rest of the Heat struggled to contain the Suns in the battle of the warm teams. This can somewhat be attributed to the fact the Suns killed Miami in the free throw battle but Miami can't look for that as an excuse, and they need to have a better shooting performance next time out.

Game Recap: CHRIS BOSH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! After a huge 4th quarter, the Nuggets tied up the game with 18 seconds remaining at 103-103. Wade winded down the clock till about 5 seconds left, Bosh was fighting for position hard down low against Franklin Lynch for much of the time remaining, until finally getting in a spot to do a turn-around jumper and drilled the mid-ranger to silence the crowd and give Miami the win. A huge game for him, this now marks Pau Gasol's first win as a member of the Heat.

Game Recap: What a game.... what a finish... the Minnesota Timberwolves survive a thrilling contest against the Miami Heat in Minnesota. A 3OT game, the game officially ended at 91-91 following a huge Dwyane Wade jumper leaving 1.2 seconds on the clock to tie it up, but LaVine missed the fading 3-pointer to win it. All 3 OT contests were thrilling, but the Heat while having leads here and there just could never close the deal late. They in fact had a chance to tie it but a Dwyane Wade 3-pointer just didn't get off in top before the buzzer. A huge victory for the Twolves, one thing is for sure with them and Dwight Howard and Andrew Wiggins... they're legit and they're no joke whatsoever in the Western Conference.

Game Recap: Paul George may have had an exceptional game of 29/6/6, but the Pacers didn't get much from anyone else besides him and Porzingis. The Heat had Chris Bosh lead the way to a blow-out in American Airlines Arena, padded by strong games by Rob McMillian and Shabazz Napier, the Heat shot 53% from the field and killed the Pacers on the rebounding glass which is really where Miami pulled ahead. The win gets the Heat their 15th on the season and is much needed following the rough loss last time out vs the Timberwolves.

Game Recap: The New York Knicks with 2:05 remaining in the 4th quarter held a 88-82 lead. Coming down the other end, Chris Bosh drained a 3 in the corner. Melo responded with a lay-up, but finally off the top of the key from a Wade pass, McMillian responded with a 3 again. 90-88. After a huge stop, Bosh hit a jumper to tie up the game at 90-90. After a few possesions, Bosh missed the potential game-winner with 8 seconds remaining... on the in-bound, Lee Griffin defended Melo, in the post the ball got to him... tied up.. final seconds, BLOCKED! Lee sends it back! What a huge play and now we're headed to Overtime!
In overtime, the victory can really be attributed to just a few massive plays. The biggest coming when Miami got the ball with 44 seconds or so. They were winning 98-94, neither side had scored since 2:12+ left. Wade had the ball and killed the clock for all it's worth, he drove to the rim and kicked it out to Lee Griffin for 3.... BANG! 101-94!!!! LEE GRIFFIN FOR 3 IN THE CORNER? It was an improbable shot but he did in fact do it. Melo did all he could even scoring a garbage 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds left to make it a 2-point game at 101-99, but it didn't matter... Miami had won the game! A huge victory on the word in Madison Square Garden, all thanks to a rookie in Lee Griffin stepping up to the plate when it mattered most.
