Heat down Bucks in OT

A reason to celebrate for UD.
On the night that Udonis Haslem moved atop the Heat all time rebound record, the Heat moved past the Bucks, 106-113 in OT.

Haslem has to be on the top of any Heat fan's list.  The heart and grit are off the charts.  He still remains co-team captain in year three of the The Big Three based on the respect he has from his teammates.  He should be a model for every kid that isn't the most talented.  My favorite Haslem moment:  The come back against the Chicago Bulls in the '11 playoffs.... he was tring to dunk on everyone.

Came into the game thinking it would be tough covering two quicker one guards.  Ellis and Jennings finished with a combined 28 points on 13 for 41 shooting.  Interesting.

Different rotations for the Heat in this one.  Mike Miller in the game early, a Joel Anthony showing, and no Rashard Lewis.  More defense than offense from the subs.  You can do that when your 4 top plays put up 97 points for you.

Sam Dalembert???? Really?????  His first three of his career, and a SportCenter Top Play with his through-the-legs pass?????  

Norris Cole did well.  Pressure on the ball.  Nice finds on a Bosh three, UD slip, and Bosh dunk.  Ended with a season high 6 dimes (a number he surpassed only one time his career).

The game started with the Heat hot and Bucks cold.  Then things went 180 degrees.

When scoring was tough for Miami, I found myself wishing the heat would go to  Bosh more.  He ended with 24 points and 18 rebounds.  Big game!

John Henson?  Another career high for someone playing the Heat this year.  Amazing.

More missed free throws.... Ended 23 for 33.

Amazing how a team this talented constantly leans on LBJ when they need someone to do something.  Then he gets everyone else involved and things get back on track.

In the fourth and OT, the Heat really did put it in another gear.  The Big Four were in full affect, scoring the last 33 for Miami.  It's nice to have these guys.


Reminder: Heat fans get Philly's first round pick this year.  They need to lose.

9-3
