The Miami Heat (13 - 9) defeated the Memphis Grizzlies (13 - 12) 100 - 97 on Sunday. Memphis came into American Airlines Arena using a small lineup in which Marc Gasol’s front court partner, Zach Randolph, came off the bench in favor of Jeff Green and Matt Barnes. Green played nearly 45 minutes, adding 26 points, two rebounds and three assists, and led all scorers in the losing effort. The Grizzlies played possession basketball and slowed the game down to a physical battle below the rim. Gasol contributed 12 points, seven rebounds and four assists, while Randolph completed 66 percent of his shots for 12 points, six rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes. Matt Barnes added a double - double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Memphis had a chance to tie the game on the final possession, but a mistimed pass from Mike Conley to Marc Gasol resulted in a turnover, eventually sending Justise Winslow to the free throw line where he extended the lead to three points. Mike Conley came a few inches away on a 55 foot hail mary with 1 left, but the miracle did not come to fruition. Dwyane Wade turned in a vintage performance with five minutes left in the game, where the three time NBA champion drove the lane for a clutch layup and followed up with the go ahead midrange jumper to put the Heat up 98 - 97 with under 24 seconds left. Wade finished with 14 points, four rebounds and two assists on 7 - of - 16 shooting. Hassan Whiteside, the NBA’s leader in blocks, was unable to register a stat in that category, but still added nine points and 11 rebounds in 28 minutes. Chris Bosh led all Miami scorers with 22 points and shot lights out from the floor (7 - of - 10), to go along with four rebounds and two assists. The Heat continue to dominate on their home court, where they are now 11 - 4 on the year. Both teams play the second game of a back - to - back on Monday, with the Heat visiting the Atlanta Hawks (14 - 11) and the Grizzlies hosting the Washington Wizards (10 - 12).
