FULL TIME! MIAMI (18-12) 119 Phila (20-9) 113

Miami is now in 5th place, would play Orlando in the first round of the playoffs if the season ended today; are winning at a .600 clip, projected 49 wins over 82. Closing on the standard, 50 wins, for a great regular season record. I believe in this "Heat" team. The sustained excellence of Jimmy and Bam and the reemergence of Duncan Robinson and the unexpected emergence of JJJr give this team excellence at the top and in the first reserve. Keep this up and Miami will make another run at the Eastern Conference title. How refreshing!
