With big night from James, Heat top Hawks, 101-92--Miami Herald
James (10 for 16) and Wade (11 for 13, the best single-game shooting percentage of his career) made 21 of 29 shots for Miami, which shot 58 percent as a team. Chris Bosh had 14 points and 10 rebounds and Norris Cole made all four of his shots to score 10 for the Heat, who handed the Hawks just their second loss in 11 games.James, Wade lead Heat in win over Hawks--Miami Herald
...
A big third-quarter run put the Heat in control, and one of James' best dunks this season helped seal it in the fourth. Cole took a pass from Ray Allen, dribbled once and nonchalantly flipped the ball toward the rim.
James, who also had seven rebounds and six assists, did the rest.
James leaped - the top of his fingers stretched easily more than a foot above the basket - for a slam with 9:51 left, and the Heat weren't threatened in the final minutes.
"Cole made me go get it, for sure," James said. "He actually took that literally when I told him, 'Just throw it anywhere.'"
Said Wade: "That's his bionic leg."
The Heat seemed to enjoy the fourth quarter - or at least the final moments of it - as Wade and Josh Smith traded words after Wade hit a long jumper.Golden State Warriors trip up Miami Heat--Miami Herald
Not long afterward, Norris Cole found Wade alone under the basket for an easy dunk to give Miami a 14-point lead.
Allen had 14 points off the bench. Chalmers had eight points and once again was held out of the game in the fourth quarter. Norris Cole had three points.Heat's Joel Anthony provides defensive spark--South Florida Sun Sentinel
"He protects the rim," guard Norris Cole said. "That's what he does. He's a shot blocker. If the defense does break down, you know there's a line of defense back there. You don't want to make a habit of it, but you can be confident knowing that if it does break down, you got someone back there."James, Wade lead Heat to quality win over Hawks 101-92--South Florida Sun Sentinel
Spoelstra added, "Even some mistakes that may happen, he can erase them."
It was that kind of night, when it was all good, even with Norris Cole tossing a death-defying alley-oop pass to James.Flu sidelines Miller as Haslem returns from bout--South Florida Sun Sentinel
"I told him to throw it anywhere," James said, "and I think he took me literally."

Among the reasons Haslem is expected to start is Spoelstra's continued fascination with a defensive-oriented second unit the features former starting power forward Shane Battier alongside center Joel Anthony and point guard Norris Cole.
"They bring the great, consistent disposition, but it's beyond that," Spoelstra said. "They also bring a great deal of speed and activity. Now Shane has the experience to be able to blend with all that, but Norris and Joel bring a lot of quick-twitch to that group."
Spoelstra said it doesn't mean that Battier couldn't yet return to the starting lineup, a role he held at the end of last season's championship run.
"I mean," Spoelstra said, "I'm not looking ahead, like months ahead. I want to see how this looks."
Spoelstra said the defensive upgrade with Battier, Anthony and Cole has been tangible.
"It's been pretty consistent," he said. "That's part of the reason why we wanted to keep Shane coming off the bench, so we can keep that second unit the same right now. Whether or not I continue do that, I'm not sure."

Mid-Major Power Pyramid: Week Two--Eye On College Basketball
13. Illinois-Chicago (8-1).Afternoon Links: Two sides of Will Sheehey--College Basketball Nation Blog
Why it's here: The Flames! I went with UIC over about four other schools because, right now, it has only one loss and the best resume otherwise. The Flames' only L came to New Mexico -- a Pyramid team of high esteem -- and it's got a W at Northwestern and just beat Colorado State over the weekend. Hey, good on a Horizon team other than that former Horizon team in getting its all-time Pyramid debut.
Something you should know: The Flames are solid because they don't give it away. Howard Moore's team is getting the ball stolen from it 5.6 percent of the time, the third-lowest (so third-best) percentage in the country.
Up next: Saturday vs. Eastern Michigan.
You may not have noticed, but Illinois-Chicago — an utterly dreadful program in recent seasons — has wins over Northwestern and Colorado State this season, and an out-of-nowhere 8-1 record.
