The Avengers

Led by the hot shooting of Dwyane Wade and a near triple-double from LeBron James, the Heat had no trouble adding Orlando to its growing list of dominant victories after a 90-78 triumph at the American Airlines Arena.

The Heat won its sixth consecutive game, all of which have been by a double-digit margin, tying the second-longest such streak in franchise history.

Miami (25-7) has the NBA’s best record and continues to dominate Eastern Conference competition. The Heat improved to 20-4 against conference foes, becoming the first team so far this season to get to 20 conference wins, and has won seven in a row at home. The loss snapped Orlando’s four-game winning streak.

“We’re just playing good basketball right now,” James said. “We’ve got a strategy going into a game, and we’re just executing both offensively and defensively.”

James finished two assists shy of a triple-double with a final stat line of 25 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. Wade was sharp from the outset, shooting 6 of 8 in the first quarter and finishing 13 of 23 for the contest with a game-high 27 points.
