Heat Win Ninth Straight Game

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(PORTLAND, OR) — The Miami Heat (28-7) beat the Portland Trial Blazers (18-18) 107-93 for their ninth straight victory.
The Heat were without All-Star Chris Bosh, who missed the game due to a death in his family.
The loss of Bosh meant the other two All-Stars would have to step up, and they did.
Dwayne Wade scored 33 points and dished out 10 assists, while LeBron James completely filled his stat sheet with 38 points, 11 boards, 6 assists, 5 steals and one blocked shot.
Not only did the victory give the Heat their ninth straight victory, but it was their ninth straight double-digit win, putting them one game away from tying the longest double-digit win streak in NBA history.
