Regular Season Round 59: Phoenix Suns - Miami Heat 83-95

Date: December 23, 2010
LeBron James scored 36 points, Chris Bosh had a double-double and the Miami Heat beat the Phoenix Suns 95-83 on Thursday night to set up a Christmas Day showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers. Miami played without star guard Dwyane Wade (knee), but didn't need him the way James and Bosh slashed through Phoenix's defense. James raised eyebrows before the game, saying it might not be such a bad thing if the "watered down" NBA were to contract. On the court, he showcased his usual fly-through-the-air flair, earning oohs and aahs from the star-studded crowd when it wasn't booing him. Bosh chipped in 23 points and 11 rebounds, helping the Heat win their eighth road game with a big one coming up against the two-time defending champions. Phoenix debuted most of its refurbished lineup, missing only Vince Carter due to a sore left knee. Marcin Gortat and Mickael Pietrus had little impact — six combined points — and the Suns had no answer for two-thirds of Miami's star trio in losing for the sixth time in eight games. Jared Dudley scored 33 points and Steve Nash had 18 assists but took just four shots and scored four points. This was Miami's only visit to the desert and the stars came out for the show. *Courtesy of Yahoo
