WADE & HEAT STUN KOBE & LAKERS

Heat guard Dwyane Wade scored 27 points in Miami's 114-111 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. But that's not how he won the game for his struggling team. It was Wade's season-high 14 assists, and his ability to resist getting into a scoring match with Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, that won the game. "That shows my teammates I'm about winning," Wade said of the assists. "I'm not about, 'I need to hit this shot because Kobe hit one.' It's about making sure we all are confident and we all are good. If we do that, that's going to go a long way rather than me always being the one who has to take the shot and make it." (NBA.com)
