Miami, FL (SportsNetwork. Sony Michel Jersey .com) - Dwyane Wade scored 19 points with 11 rebounds and seven assists, and the Miami Heat continued their dominance over the Toronto Raptors with a 107-102 win on Sunday. Chris Bosh tallied 21 points with 11 rebounds and four assists for the Heat, who have opened the season with three straight wins for just the fifth time in franchise history. It was a good win, particularly having to go through the emotions of playing a very good team, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said. Luol Deng and Shawne Williams netted 18 and 16 points, respectively, in the victory. Toronto, which had its two-game winning streak snapped, may have wanted a different opponent to keep its unbeaten start to the season going. The Raptors have now lost 16 straight to the Heat, including 10 in a row in South Beach. DeMar DeRozan paced the visitors with 30 points, while Kyle Lowry finished with 22 points and Jonas Valanciunas added 14. They played well, Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said of the Heat. Im not taking anything away from Miami, but we gotta make them miss, we gotta make them feel us. Wade made all four of his shot attempts in the first quarter, and he spearheaded a 14-2 spurt that helped the Heat to a 22-12 lead just past the midway point of the frame. Toronto, which went 10-of-15 from the line over the first 12 minutes, trimmed the deficit to 31-26 heading into the second thanks in large part because of DeRozans 13 points. Valanciunas converted a three-point play which cut Miamis lead to four with under three minutes until half, then Deng slammed home a feed from Wade before Bosh netted his own three-point play to extend the margin to 56-47. Miami shot a blistering 23-for-39 from the floor in the first half to grab a 64-54 lead at the break. The Heat maintained a comfortable edge in the third because of their hot shooting. That wasnt more evident then when Wade pulled up and banked in a contested 3-pointer for an 83-67 lead at 4:53 of the quarter. The Raptors turned the double-digit deficit into a six-point game with over seven minutes to play in the game. But Wade hauled in two offensive rebounds in the same possession and Mario Chalmers rewarded him with a pair of free throws to make it 96-88 at 6:33. Greivis Vasquez answered at the other end with a jumper, then Williams tipped in Chalmers miss as Miami continued to assert itself on the boards. The margin remained six with under a minute to play when Wade got James Johnson to jump on a pump fake, drawing a foul shooting a deep two-point attempt. Wade split the pair of free throws and the Heat made enough shots from the line down the stretch to secure the win. Game Notes Miami outrebounded the Raptors, 43-28 ...

Crawford beat his previous career high of 39 points set against Miami on March, 30, 2011, when he was with Washington. He surpassed it with a runner that put the Warriors ahead for good at 110-108. Randy Foye, who led Denver with 32 points, raced downcourt in response but his finger-roll rimmed out and Golden State corralled the rebound. With 30 seconds left, Barnes sank a free throw and Draymond Green swooped in to tip in his errant second shot, giving the Warriors a 113-108 lead. Crawford and Steve Blake each missed a free throw over the next 14 seconds, giving the Nuggets an opening. Green was whistled for goal-tending on Foyes 3-pointer with seven seconds left but the call was overturned upon review, leaving the Nuggets trailing 115-112. Anthony Randolph tied his season high with 19 points for the Nuggets, who are missing the playoff party for the first time since 2002-03, the year before Carmelo Anthonys arrival. The Warriors are headed to their second straight Western Conference playoffs, again as the No. 6 seed and this time, theyll face the third-seeded Clippers starting Saturday in Los Angeles.

Guard Klay Thompson was the only starter coach Mark Jackson put in his starting lineup 48 hours after Golden State secured its first 50-win season since 1993-94. Thompson played just eight minutes but his was an efficient cameo with eight points. Green was pressed into duty in the fourth quarter when Hilton Armstrong fouled out. Nuggets coach Brian Shaw had no problem with his counterpart going with a short bench by design, something Denver has had to do out of necessity for much of the season because of a rash of injuries to the likes of Ty Lawson, JaVale McGee, Danilo Gallinari, J. Drew Bledsoe Womens Jersey. J. Hickson and Nate Robinson. "It will be like playing ourselves," Shaw said before tip-off. "Well get to see what its like." The Warriors reserves had fresh legs and continually beat the winded Nuggets downcourt. By halftime, Golden State, despite shooting just 9 of 17 from the foul line, was ahead 66-52 behind 22 points from Barnes and 19 from Crawford. The Nuggets opened the fourth quarter on a 12-2 run to take the lead and give the home crowd something to cheer about. This marked the final game for Nuggets trainer Jim Gillen, who never missed a game or a practice in 23 seasons with the Nuggets. He worked for nine head coaches and four interim coaches, five general managers and nearly 200 players, taping up, by his estimate, 15,000 ankles. Shaw called Gillen the fabric of the franchise. "As a first-year head coach, Ive had to rely on him in so many different situations from his experience and knowledge and know-how from things that we need to get together on, from hotel stays to when we need to get together and practice and how much rest guys need and to even in-game strategy, timeouts at the end of the game and things like that," Shaw said. NOTES: As expected, Lawson (sprained ankle) did not play in the season finale, meaning he missed the last seven games of the season. ...
