This game was nowhere near as close as the final score was.  The Heat were winning 97-65 after three quarters before calling off the dogs.  The Heat outrebounded the Mavericks 51-31 and they turned up the D holding the Mavericks to only 37.8% shooting from the floor.  LeBron James had a monster game to lead the way for the Heat with 37 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots.  Dwyane Wade also rocked the house with 26 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  Udonis Haslem was a beast off the bench for the Heat in his game with 9 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot in 32 minutes.  The Heat are now 1-0 on the season.

DALLAS (AP) -- LeBron James had 37 points, 10 rebounds and six assists as the Miami Heat got a measure of payback for the NBA finals by opening this season with a 105-94 victory over the Dallas Mavericks that wasn't as close as the score suggests.

While the majority of other Christmas Day NBA games were close, LeBron James and the Miami Heat played the role of the Grinch in Dallas—beating the Mavs 105-94. On the day the Mavs received their NBA Finals Championship rings, the Miami Heat looked like the team who should be hoisting a banner into their rafters.
