LeBron James added 25 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds and Dwyane Wade added 25, eight and six respectively as the Miami Heat dominated the second half en route to a 114-107 victory over the visiting Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
Chris Bosh added 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Heat, who stretched their current winning streak to five games.
The Warriors controlled the first half, blitzing one of the best defenses in the NBA for 72 points to take a 14-point lead into the break.
Former Miami sharpshooter Dorell Wright led the charge with 20 of his 30 points in the opening half for Golden State.
The Heat made some changes at the half and immediately got right back into the game, ripping off a 15-3 run and pulling to within 75-73 when Wade took a feed from James and dunked at the 5:43 mark. The Warriors managed to hold onto the lead, 84-83, at the end of the third.
Miami wasted little time overtaking the Warriors in the fourth, opening with a 7-0 run and never looking back.
Monta Ellis finished with 25 points for Golden State.
