LEBRON James scored 33 points and Chris Bosh added 30 as the host Miami Heat used a historic third-quarter turnaround to erase a big deficit and beat the San Antonio Spurs 120-98 yesterday.
Miami outscored San Antonio 39-12 in the third quarter - the second-largest differential for any quarter in Heat history, and the second-worst differential for a period in Spurs history. The Heat trailed 52-35 late in the second quarter.
Mike Miller made his season debut and shot 6 for 6 on 3-pointers, finishing with 18 points tying his career-high for makes from beyond the arc. And the Heat did it all without Dwyane Wade, sitting out on his 30th birthday because of a sprained right ankle.
Danny Green scored 20 points for the Spurs, and Tony Parker had 18.

At Orlando, Florida, Dwight Howard had 25 points and 17 rebounds to lead Orlando to its fifth straight win.
