Owner Real Deal Posted December 19, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21420727.jpg MIAMI -- The Miami Heat were outrebounded by 28, matching the second-largest margin in team history. They finished with only 24 boards, matching the second-lowest total in any game over the franchise's quarter-century of existence. Somehow, none of that mattered. Dwyane Wade scored 24 points, LeBron James added 22 points and 11 assists and the Heat survived a strangely one-sided night on the glass to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 103-92 on Tuesday night -- becoming the first team since 1994 to be outrebounded by such a wide margin and still win, according to STATS LLC. "I don't know how many times I've seen that, where you get doubled up on the rebounding and still escape with the win," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "That's a tough team. They're unique. Relentless on the glass. There's not many teams like them." The final rebounding margin: Minnesota 52, Miami 24. Chris Bosh scored 15 points and Mario Chalmers added 12 for the Heat, who gave up 21 of the game's first 24 rebounds. Andrei Kirilenko scored 22 for Minnesota, which played without guard Ricky Rubio, who's being eased back after recovering from knee surgery. The Timberwolves dropped their second straight. Kevin Love finished with 11 points and 18 rebounds, and Nikola Pekovic had a 18-point, 12-rebound effort for the Timberwolves.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121218_MIN@MIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
