Dwyane Wade led Miami with 34 points and seven assists while LeBron James put up 21 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the 102-89 victory.

There was also battle for supremacy in the Western Conference between the San Antonio Spurs and the Memphis Grizzlies. A game after coach Gregg Popovich caused controversy by resting his starters, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan scored 30 and 27 respectively in their return to the starting lineup, leading the Spurs in a 99-95 overtime win.
