Dwyane Wade scored a career-high 55 points to help the Miami Heat tune up for the play-offs with an impressive 122-105 victory over the New York Knicks. The victory ensured the Heat (42-38) would be seeded fifth in the Eastern Conference and Wade emphasizsed Miami’s desire to maintain momentum into the post-season. “This was not just another game,” Wade, who had twice scored 50 points, said. “It was an important game.” He missed Glen Rice’s team record by a point. “He could have went for a million the way he was shooting,” said team-mate Michael Beasley, who finished with a career-best equaling 28 points and a personal best 16 rebounds.

Wade nailed six three pointers on his way to scoring 50 or more points for the third time this season after he hit the ground running from the opening tip-off. “Early on I was on the court and had it locked in,” said Wade, who scored 16 points in the first quarter. “I knew it was going to be one of those nights.”
The NBA’s leading scorer hit his 50th point with 26 seconds remaining in the third quarter and left the game with 1:06 to go in the fourth. Al Harrington and Wilson Chandler each tallied 21 points for New York (31-50). Cleveland, 39-1 in its home arena, can equal the 1985-86 Celtics’ NBA record of 40-1 with a home victory over Philadelphia in Wednesday’s regular-season finale. Although Sunday’s contest was a meeting of the Eastern Conference’s top two teams, the outcome was never in doubt after the league-leading Cavaliers (65-15) raced to a 31-9 first quarter advantage over the Celtics (60-20). The lead grew to 30 points on a James free throw in the second quarter. James also had seven assists and four rebounds in 30 minutes of play. He scored his final basket on a three-pointer with 28 seconds remaining in the third period.
