Miami Heat vs. Arizona Pheonix

After loosing against the Denver nuggets, ending their ten straight win lead, Miami needs to step their game up.

On December 23rd, Miami played against the Arizona Phoenix. Dwayne Wade was not a participant due to a sore left knee.
It was a rough start for the Heat, but they had their good moments throughout the 1st quarter. For example, Carlos Arroyo making a great pass from the half court to Lebron James for the dunk. AMAZING!!!
The 1st quarter ended with PhX:22 @ MIA: 19. PHX played a good defense and had a good hustle in the 1st quarter coming in strong.
In the 2nd quarter, however, Miami came in aggressive. Now that was the team we know and love. It was looking like a tight game. With 4:20 left in the 2nd quarter, Lebron James made a steal, ran across the court and made a pass form his left to his right for the layup. A great play by Lebron James.
Then with just a few seconds left in the 2nd quarter, Lebron James made a difficult 2 point shot, while also drawing the foul. Miami ended the 2nd quarter strong with a 45-39 point lead.
The game was definitely not over. Miami came in strong during the 2nd half, making good defensive plays.
It's down to the last two minutes of the game.
Miami still at the top of their game in the last remaining seconds. The heat finish strong, ending the game with 95-83 win.
It was a great game overall. LBJ ends the game with 36 points. Bosh with 23, 11 rebounds. This brought the Heats standings to 22 wins and 9 losses.
All in all, both teams played a great game. They had their ups and downs, but it was an interesting game from beginning to end.

Look forward to the next game that's creating buzz around Miami and in Los Angeles. The Heat vs. Lakers, this Saturday December 25th, at the Staples Center at 5 pm on ABC. This will be a game to watch. Miami is going to need to play good on both fronts, offensively and defensively. They're going to have to join together and play as aggressively as they have been playing. Stay tuned.
