HOUSTON -- LeBron James was wiped out -- and it showed.
Michael
Roberts Womens Jersey . Dwight Howard had 22 points and 16 rebounds,
James Harden added 21 points and the Houston Rockets held James in check Tuesday
night during a 106-103 win over the Miami Heat. James had a chance to tie the
game with a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer, but it was off -- just like
most of his second-half shots. The four-time MVP finished with 22 points, one
night after setting a club record with a career-high 61 against Charlotte. He
acknowledged before Tuesdays game that he was "extremely tired" and that he
spent most of the day sleeping. James had 19 points by halftime, but appeared to
drag at times in the second half and spent the first half of the fourth quarter
on the bench. He was 1 for 7 after the break. "I fought through it in the first
half. Second half it just wasnt there for me," James said. "Got out of rhythm."
Still, the Heat cut their deficit to three when Michael Beasley hit a 3-pointer
with 21.2 seconds left. Harden threw the ball away after that, and Howard
accidentally hit James in the face when they both went up to try to grab a long
pass. James lay on the court holding his broken nose for a few seconds before
getting up and slowly walking to the bench. He has been wearing a protective
mask to protect his nose. James remained in the game after a timeout, then
missed the desperation 3 with Howard in his face. "I knew I had to put up a
heave over top of him," James said. "I felt like I got a good look -- just a
little long." The Rockets used the word composed repeatedly after the game to
describe their play. "Theres no need for us to get worried," Howard said of the
teams mindset after Beasleys 3. "Situations like that, the best thing we can do
is stay composed. If we point our finger or put our heads down, it gives the
other team confidence. Thats something weve been trying to work on all year."
Dwyane Wade had 24 points for the Heat after sitting out Monday night. Beasley
also scored 24, a season high. Miami never led, but tied it twice in the fourth
quarter. Houston used an 11-2 spurt to take a 104-95 lead with less than 3
minutes remaining. "We were able to push back in the fourth quarter and tie the
game up," Wade said. "But we had to exhaust so much energy trying to come back."
Houston led by 13 early in the fourth before two separate runs by the Heat tied
it at 91 with 7 minutes remaining. The also tied it at 93 before Houston used
its late run to close it out. "We did some good stuff," Rockets coach Kevin
McHale said. "We made some plays. ... I thought during stretches in this game we
played really well." The Heat had made consecutive 3-pointers to cut the lead to
seven early in the fourth quarter when Chris Andersen blocked a shot by
Donatas Motiejunas. Andersen stood under the basket after the block and taunted
Motiejunas, drawing a technical foul. Miami then used an 8-0 run, which included
a 3 by Beasley, to cut it to 88-87 with 8 1/2 minutes left. Houston opened the
second half with a 9-2 run capped by Chandler Parsons dunk over James.
Shane Battier had a basket for Miami after that, but Houston reeled off six
straight points to extend the lead to 68-56. An airball on a 3-point attempt by
Wade was one of three missed shots by the Heat in that span. The Rockets were up
by nine soon after that when Harden launched a long alley-oop to Howard, who
barely grabbed it in time to sail over Chris Bosh for the dunk. Howard picked up
a foul with about 5 minutes left in the first half when he ran into James as he
was driving to the basket, causing him to lose control of the ball, which
bounced off James mask. A reverse layup by James and a free throw by Wade in the
last 20 seconds of the first half cut Houstons lead to 53-52 at halftime. The
Rockets jumped out to a 7-0 lead and were up 39-32 at the end of the first
quarter. NOTES: Hall of Fame centre Hakeem Olajuwon, and Houston Texans stars
Andre Johnson and Arian Foster attended the game, as did Minnesota Vikings
running back Adrian Peterson and former Astros pitcher and seven-time Cy Young
Award winner Roger Clemens. ... James said the best compliments he received
following his big game against Charlotte came from the two most important women
in his life. "My mom and my wife saying how proud they were of me and that I
never cease to amaze them," he said. "So its always great when your family gives
you that type of gratitude and response."
