No Bosh, No Wade, No Problem

The Heat's 4th wheel finally got rolling. After scoring just 15 points in his 10 games and converting just 6 of his first 28 shots, Mike Miller finally broke out. Getting his first start of the season with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade both sidelined, Miller hit 12 of 20 shots from the field, 6 of 11 3's and finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists as the shorthanded Heat blew out Toronto 120-103. Lebron James started at power forward and led all scorers with 38 points and added 11 rebounds as the Heat snapped their season long 4 game losing streak. It will be interesting to see if Miller can continue to deliver once Wade and Bosh return to the lineup. If the 4 of them can coexist, it makes what is already one of the NBA's elite just that much tougher. With the loss, the Raptors fell to 13-31, just a game ahead of New Jersey at the bottom of the Atlantic. The Heat meanwhile gained a game on the Celtics who dropped a close one to the struggling Wizards 85-83 at the Verizon Center. All 13 of Washington's wins this year have come at home.
