NBA: Wade does it again, lifts Heat past Celtics

By TIM REYNOLDS
AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — Dwyane Wade to the rescue, again.

Wade scored 32 points, including the game-sealing 3-pointer with 34 seconds left, and the Miami Heat held on to beat the Boston Celtics 107-99 on Wednesday night.

Jamario Moon scored 13 points and grabbed eight rebounds for Miami, which stayed 1 1/2 games behind Atlanta for fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Jermaine O'Neal scored 12 for the Heat.

Ray Allen hit his first six shots and finished with 27 for Boston, which fell two games behind Cleveland for the East's best record. But Allen missed a 3-pointer with 21 seconds left, Mario Chalmers grabbed the rebound and the Celtics let time expire.

Leon Powe had 23 points and 13 rebounds for the Celtics, who have lost two straight.
