MIAMI - Chris Bosh scored 40 points, and Ray Allen haunted his former coach with a four-point play with 6.7 seconds left to lead the Miami Heat to a 119-116 win over the Denver Nuggets Saturday night. Andre Iguodala's 20-foot jumper had given Denver a 116-115 lead with 14.1 seconds left. But Allen drifted to his favorite spot on the floor -- the left corner -- took a pass from LeBron James and drained a three-pointer. He was fouled on the play and made the free throw to give the Heat a three-point lead. Danilo Gallinari missed a three-point try just before the buzzer to send Denver to its third straight defeat to start the season, all on the road. The Heat improved to 2-1, including 2-0 at home.Bosh, who had his best scoring game as a member of the Heat, made 15 of 22 shots from the field and 9 of 10 from the free-throw line. That helped Miami overcome a Denver team that outscored the Heat 72-40 in the paint. Allen, who played for Nuggets coach George Karl in Milwauk...

Yep, Ray Allen can still hit monstrous, clutch shots.
Allen showed Saturday night that wearing a Heat jersey won't do a thing to his ability to come through down the stretch, nailing a 3-pointer from the corner in the closing seconds to help the Heat hold off the Nuggets for a win at home.
But it wasn't just Allen's big 3 that was so impressive. Allen...

Ray Allen’s Still Got It
Ray Allen, you still got it, and plenty of it. I can’t find anyone else who can put a dagger like that with six seconds left in the game the way he did Saturday night in the Miami Heat‘s 119-116 victory over the Denver Nuggets. When the Heat called a full timeout, head coach Erik Spoelstra designed a play where LeBron James would have the ball. He had the option to drive in...

Ray Allen Hits Three In the Corner to Beat Nuggets (Video)
When the Miami Heat need to hit a last shot in the clutch, it seems like it’s going to be literally impossible to guard them. You either need to guard LeBron James driving, but then you leave Ray Allen wide open behind the three-point line. There is also Rashard Lewis camping behind-the-arc. Let’s also not forget Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh there, too.
