THE Miami Heat continued their domination over Houston by beating the Rockets 114-108 on Wednesday behind 32 points from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade's 31 points and eight assists.
Wade also had four steals for the defending NBA champion Heat, who have now won seven consecutive games over the Rockets.
Shane Battier finished with 12 points and Norris Cole scored 10 for the Heat who are 20-3 at home this year.
"We had to dig for this. We will take it," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said.
The Rockets' loss came one day after they blitzed Golden State for a record-tying 23 three-pointers in an eye-popping 140-109 victory.
James Harden finished with 36 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists for Houston, which hasn't won in Miami for over five years, losing four straight in that time.
The Rockets went just nine-of-25 from beyond the arc.
San Antonio's Danny Green hit eight 3-pointers and scored a career-high 28 points to help the Spurs win their 11th straight game, 104-94 over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Tony Parker added 31 points and eight assists and Kawhi Leonard finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs.
Nikola Pekovic had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves.
In Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 25 points and Russell Westbrook added 22 as the Thunder beat the Golden State Warriors 119-98 for their first consecutive win in nearly three weeks.
Dallas gave coach Rick Carlisle his 500th career victory as O.J. Mayo scored 28 points and Vince Carter hit a critical jumper in the final minute of the Mavericks' 105-99 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Washington broke New York's five-game winning streak as John Wall had 21 points and nine assists, and Trevor Ariza scored 20 points in the Wizards' 106-96 win over the Knicks.
