MIAMI - The Heat's philosophy this season is simple: Catch us if you can. Miami's defense was better Monday night than it had been in earlier game, but still hasn't been as sharp as it was during last season's championship run. But when you can score like the Heat can, who needs stops? The Heat gave up 53 first-half points Monday night and still cruised to a 124-99 victory over the Phoenix Suns. The Heat improved to 3-1, including 3-0 at home. The Suns (1-3) lost their second straight game, both on the road in the state of Florida. It was not the way former Heat coach Alvin Gentry wanted to celebrate his 58th birthday. Now in his fourth full season coaching the Suns, Gentry watched his team get overwhelmed by the Heat's blistering shooting. The Heat's LeBron James led all scorers with 23 points and also had a game-high 11 rebounds. Dwyane Wade had 22 points. Chris Bosh had 18 points, all of them in the first half. And Mario Chalmers had nine points,...

Defense keys Heat's high-flying win over Suns
MIAMI -- LeBron James didn't think anybody would be talking about defense after the offensive show his Miami Heat put on Monday night.
The Heat scored their most points since the fifth game of last season in a 124-99 rout of Phoenix at AmericanAirlines Arena. They had a team-record eight different players make a 3-pointer while shooting 57.1 percent from beyond the arc.

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...

Norris Cole Hits Half-Court Buzzer Beater (Video)
Norris Cole played a big role for the Miami Heat in the playoffs last season and is set to have a bigger one this year. So far, the second-year pro is showing that, especially in Monday night’s game versus the Phoenix Suns.
After Suns point guard Goran Dragic nailed a three to cut the Suns deficit to 31-25 with 2.1 seconds left remaining in the first quarter, Cole had a chance...
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...

Chris Bosh and his wife Adrienne know how to plan a party. So, it’s no wonder that the Princess theme for Chris’s four-year-old daughter Trinity came out so adorable. Of course all the Disney Princesses were on hand to help Trinity celebrate. And naturally cameras as well… Trinity wasn’t the only NBA tyke with a [...]

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.
The Denver Nuggets were...
LeBron, Wade lead Heat past Suns
