Wade fuels Heat
Dwyane Wade had 31 points and eight assists, and Shawn Marion hit the go-ahead free throws with 22 seconds left to lift the Miami Heat to a 99-96 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday night.
Randy Foye scored 14 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to get the Timberwolves their sixth straight victory.
Foye had a shot to take the lead after Marion’s free throws, but Wade swatted the layup attempt away and Rodney Carney rushed a three-pointer that was off the mark.
Wade missed the back end of his two free throws, but rookie Michael Beasley got the rebound and made one of two foul shots.
Foye’s desperation three-pointer just before the buzzer was off the mark, and the Wolves lost for the first time in 2009.
Marion finished with 16 points and 11 boards. Udonis Haslem had 17 points and 10 rebounds.
