19 out of 20 for the Heat

The Heat improved to 28-9 on the season tonight with their 7th straight win, a 101-89 triumph over the Milwaukee Bucks who played their 7th straight game without their leading scorer, Brandon Jennings. The Heat continued to get it done on the defensive end holding the Bucks to below 40% from the field, but now they're starting to get it done on the glass as well outrebounding Milwaukee 47-34. Chris Bosh led the way with 12 boards, Erick Dampier added 9 in 20 minutes off the bench and 5 other members of the Heat pulled down at least 4. This is not good news for the rest of the NBA. Add to this the fact that Udonis Haslem started his rehab today and may be available for the postseason and things just keep getting better for Miami. And all this has come without Mike Miller getting going yet. In 6 games since coming back from his injury, Miller has hit just 1 of 13 shots (that's 8% in case you were wondering) and has missed all 6 of his 3-point attempts. As he commands the 4th highest salary on the team this season ($5M), the Heat would obviously like to see more out of him, but considering they're 19-1 in their last 20, it doesn't really appear to matter right now.
