Heat rookie Norris Cole, who was a collegiate star at Cleveland State, had 10 points off the bench. An important jumper by Cole put the Heat ahead 67-61 with 9:10 left in the game. Chalmers finished with nine points and had three assists to go along with three turnovers.

“I just wanted to play better — play like I can play and how they know I can play,” said Cole, who had struggled offensively in recent games.

At one point in the fourth quarter, after getting a pass from Norris Cole late in the shot clock, which led to a turnover, James turned and bereted the rookie point guard, "Shoot it!"
...
While the Heat had 10 of those, many were of the hideous variety, including Cole throwing an alley-oop attempt off the backboard, Bosh trying to go behind his back with a dribble and losing the ball out of bounds, and James dribbling into a one-on-two turnover in transition.

And that did not even count the 3-point attempt Heat forward James Jones shot off the top of the backboard in the second quarter.
