A Burst of Momentum Late in Q4 Gives the Miami Heat a Lead Over the Charlotte Bobcats

The Miami Heat shifts gears late in the 4th quarter just as the game is about to slip away. With time running out the Heat comes from behind with triples by LeBron James and Mario Chalmers then  Chris Bosh gets into his zone hitting back-to-back triples. The Heat maintains a 9-game winning streak in a close win against the Charlotte Bobcats (98-99). While LeBron James was scoring 27 points and Bosh was in his zone shooting triples, Dwyane Wade was in his zone swinging and blocking.

Blocks in tonight's game gives Wade a record 675 overall blocks. One of Wade's more memorable blocks was against Dwight Howard (formerly with the Orlando Magic, now with the Houston Rockets).  Howard was 6'11" and Wade was 6'4" but Wade did a clean sweep in that previous game to snatch the ball right from Howard's hands as Howard was headed for a lay-up. Wade came back down with the ball, then took it coast-to-coast for a lay-up.
