After three days in the city whose nightlife wears out many an NBA team, the Lakers beat the Heat, 131-113, by dominating the home team for most of the game.
Lest anyone forget what they can do, Dwyane Wade and Isaiah Thomas put on a show. Wade did what he used to do with regularity in this building during the 13 consecutive seasons he spent after being drafted by the Heat. He scored 25 points in his seventh game back with Miami since being traded from Cleveland.
Eleven of his points came in the fourth quarter, including three three-pointers, in what was also his seventh game with his current team since being traded from Cleveland.
