Whiteside powers Heat past Magic

The Miami Heat gave up 57 points to the 29-43 Orlando Magic by halftime. For a team like the Heat fighting for playoff positioning, that's playing with fire. Fortunately, though, the Heat took care of business in the second half.

The Heat dominated the third quarter, outscoring Orlando 31-12 in the period, to run away with a 108-97 victory and get back on track following Wednesday night's disappointing loss to the San Antonio Spurs. As is becoming a pattern these days, the reserve trio of Hassan Whiteside, Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson led the way.
