Heat 95, Nets 83: Mario Chalmers scored 22 points and shorthanded Miami rallied in the second half to knock off host Brooklyn.
The Heat snapped a three-game losing streak overall and a four-game regular-season slide against the Nets despite playing again without star guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and also missing forward Luol Deng (wrist). Chris Bosh finished with 15 points and nine rebounds while Shabazz Napier had 11 points off the bench for Miami, which was 24-of-27 at the free-throw line.
Rookie Bojan Bogdanovic hit four of his five 3-point tries while tying a season high with 22 points to lead Brooklyn. Jarrett Jack scored 15 points off the bench and Deron Williams chipped in 14 points, seven assists and four steals.
The Nets led by as many as eight in the first half before settling for a 43-38 lead at the break. Norris Cole scored the first five points of Miami's 11-0 run midway through the third as the Heat established a 60-51 lead en route to a six-point edge entering the fourth.
The margin remained six at 84-78 after Bosh scored his first points of the second half on a jumper with 3:15 to go and Chalmers had a three-point play moments later to make it 87-80. Jack's offensive foul led to another foul shot for Chalmers and Bosh helped put it away with a 3-pointer with 1:23 remaining.
