Heat skewer Bulls in 2OT

By Staff | Mar 10, 2009

Dwyane Wade, Miami’s MVP candidate, stole the ball from John Salmons with four seconds left, then made a running three-pointer as time expired to lift the Heat to a wild 130-127 double-overtime win over the Chicago Bulls Monday night.

Wade, who finished with 48 points and 12 assists in 49 minutes, made a three-pointer at the end of the first half, then again at the end of regulation.

After missing a layup at the end of the first extra session, he more than atoned for that at the end.

Pistons 98, Magic 94: Richard Hamilton scored 29 points and had a career-high 14 assists as Detroit beat Orlando.

Detroit, already without Allen Iverson (back) for the sixth straight game, lost Rasheed Wallace to a calf injury late in the first quarter. Antonio McDyess, though, added 13 points and 18 rebounds to help the Pistons finish off a 3-0 season sweep of the Magic – a team they could face in the first round of the playoffs.

Dwight Howard had 27 points and 14 rebounds for Orlando, which has lost 19 of its last 24 regular-season meetings with the Pistons, and been eliminated by Detroit in each of the last two postseasons.
