Wade leads Heat over Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY(AP) Maybe a winning record will help Dwyane Wade get over his migraine.Wade
overcame his headache and foul trouble while leading Miami to a 93-89
victory over the short-handed Utah Jazz on Wednesday night, getting the
Heat back above .500 as they ended a five-game Western Conference road
trip."I was going to play. Anything I can do to help my guys and try to get a win,'' said Wade, who had 23 points and five assists.The Heat won three of five on the trip and improved to 10-9 - just five games short of last season's total of 15 wins.The
Jazz were missing a large chunk of their regular lineup and the Heat
took advantage inside, outrebounding Utah 45-38 as injured forwards
Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko and Matt Harpring watched from Utah's
bench in suits.Udonis Haslem had 13 rebounds and Joel Anthony
had four blocks for the Heat, who held off several runs by the Jazz and
went 9-of-11 from the foul line in the fourth quarter to seal it."They
kept on coming, they wouldn't go away,'' Heat coach Erik Spoelstra
said. "I thought their resiliency was good. It definitely helped us
that they had some of their main guys out.''Paul Millsap led Utah with 20 points and 13 rebounds.Deron
Williams, playing in his fifth straight game after missing most of the
first month of the season with a sprained ankle, had 13 points and five
assists. The Jazz fell behind by 16 early in the fourth quarter and
didn't have enough to rally against the Heat after a comeback Tuesday
night in a win at Sacramento.Utah was 29-for-73 and just 4-for-15 on 3-pointers."We just don't have a whole lot of rhythm right now,'' Utah's Kyle Korver said.Shawn Marion scored 15, Michael Beasley had 12 points and reserve Chris Quinn added six assists for Miami.The
Jazz closed the third on an 8-2 run to get within 74-65 entering the
final period. It was the first time the Jazz had gotten the lead within
single digits since the Heat opened the second half with a 16-2 run and
pulled ahead by as much as 16."They showed a good deal more of
desire to try and win the ballgame,'' Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "I
thought we had ourselves in a tough situation most of the night.''The
Heat never let the Jazz get closer than seven until Williams' 3-pointer
with 1:11 remaining cut it to 93-87. After a miss by the Heat, Williams
found Millsap under the basket for a layup that got Utah within four
with 37 seconds left.The quick scores revived the hopes of the
remaining fans, but after a timeout the Heat just put the ball in
Wade's hands and he waited out most of the shot clock before missing a
jumper. The Jazz got the rebound, but were slow to get the ball up the
court.Williams missed a 3-pointer that would have gotten Utah within a point in the final seconds.Notes:
