MIAMI -- Trailing entering the fourth quarter, thats becoming common for the Miami Heat. Stitched Sports Jerseys . So is overcoming those deficits. Down by five entering the fourth, the Heat clamped down and beat the Toronto Raptors 102-97 Sunday night, getting 30 points from LeBron James and 17 from reserve Michael Beasley. "We stayed with it mentally," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We were into the grind and staying the course and had to continue to make plays." Playing in a back-to-back for the first time since mid-November, Dwyane Wade scored 14 points in 35 minutes for Miami, which got 11 rebounds from Chris Bosh and outscored the Raptors 23-13 in the final quarter. Miami is 7-6 this season when trailing entering the fourth. "Just find a way to win," James said. "Every game is different. One game is different is from the next and you just find a way to win when you can." The way they won this one was defensively. The Heat shot only 7 for 20 in the fourth, but the Raptors shot 6 for 21. "They got more aggressive," Torontos Kyle Lowry said. "We werent attacking as much in transition. First three quarters we were able to get out and run a little bit more. The quarter started very slow for us and it really hurt us." DeMar DeRozan scored 26 points on 11-for-19 shooting for Toronto, which was bidding for its first six-game winning streak since April 2007. Amir Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas each scored 17 for the Raptors, who got 14 from Lowry. Toronto had a slew of late chances. Johnson could have given the Raptors the lead with 25 seconds left, but his 4-footer bounced off the rim. And Lowrys 3-point attempt with Toronto down three with 6 seconds left also missed, with James corralling that rebound and sealing the win at the foul line. "We couldnt get a bucket," DeRozan said. "Things were going our way and then it came down to LeBron hitting a couple of big shots." A night after shooting 9 for 9 in Orlando, Bosh shot just 2 for 9, but his hook in the lane with 8:57 left put the Heat on top 86-84. Miami wouldnt trail again. Miami was up 52-51 at the break, then quickly lost the lead and its point guard. Mario Chalmers missed the second half with right Achilles tendinitis. He played 15 minutes in the first half, roughly his usual workload, but Spoelstra said the team decided at halftime to shut him down. Chalmers wasnt sure what caused the issue. While that was settling in, Toronto was taking off, a 12-2 run not long after halftime giving the Raptors a seven-point edge. The margin was nine with 4:56 left in the third after an inside score by Valanciunas, who had 10 in the quarter. Miami ripped off nine straight to tie it, but Lowry -- who also made a pair of 3-pointers in the period -- closed the third with a jumper that put Toronto up 84-79. "I like the way our guys fought, but in the NBA you dont get a win or any medal for losing," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "I like what our guys are building. I know where we are. Ive said it. I havent wavered from it. I like the direction were going." Without Chalmers, Roger Mason Jr. got just under six minutes of second-half playing time for the Heat, his only basket being a 3-pointer to start Miamis fourth-quarter rally. Unless the Heat decide to part ways, Mason Jr.s contract becomes guaranteed for the remainder of the season on Tuesday. So, too, does Beasleys deal. His 17 points came in just 20 minutes. NOTES: Miami F Shane Battier (left quad strain) hoped to play Sunday but was inactive, along with C Greg Oden (knee rehab). F-C Tyler Hansbrough (sprained left ankle) was out for Toronto, only the seventh time the Raptors lost someone for a game because of injury this season. ... Instead of flying to Indianapolis after the game, the Raptors opted to stay another night in Miami because of the snow and extreme cold in the Midwest. Toronto plays at Indiana on Tuesday. ... It was James 250th regular-season game with the Heat. Hes reached double digits in scoring in every one. Sports Jerseys Sale . Others describe it as taking the parrot for a walk. Sports Jerseys . Golden States second straight road win wasnt painless. David Lee scored a season-high 29 points -- 13 in the fourth quarter -- and Nate Robinson added 17 points, leading the Warriors to a 105-95 win Tuesday night over the road-worn Cleveland Cavaliers. https://www.discountsportsjerseyscheap.com/ .com) - The Grand Slam season will get underway Monday at the Australian Open in Melbourne, where a new champion will be crowned this year. NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees pulled himself up in the end zone after his diving touchdown scramble and held both arms high, basking in the cheers pouring forth from the rollicking Superdome crowd. It has only been a year since the Saints were 0-3, shrouded in scandal and going nowhere. It might as well have been a lifetime ago. Brees passed for three touchdowns to go with his scoring run and the Saints beat the Arizona Cardinals 31-7 on Sunday to improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2009, when they won the Super Bowl. "Hopefully we can just continue to get a little bit better, and gain confidence and momentum and keep the train rolling," said Brees, who connected twice with tight end Jimmy Graham for scores and once with Robert Meachem. "Im very happy to be 3-0, 2-0 in the (NFC South) division, 3-0 in the NFC. All those things are significant." Defensively, New Orleans couldnt ask for much more. The Saints allowed a single-season record 7,042 yards a year ago. This season under new co-ordinator Rob Ryan, New Orleans has allowed four TDs in the first three games. The unit produced four sacks and two interceptions of Arizonas Carson Palmer. Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan sacked Palmer twice. Outside linebacker Junior Galette added another, as did rookie defensive end Glenn Foster. "It was all just pressure everywhere," said Jordan, who exchanged high-fives with fellow defensive lineman Akiem Hicks in the locker room afterward. "When youre part of a D-line like that, I mean, its a party." First-round draft choice safety Kenny Vaccaro made his first career interception, and Keenan Lewis, acquired in free agency last off-season, had his first interception with the Saints. Coach Sean Payton, who looks to be building another contender after returning from last seasons bounty ban, summed it up as a "really good afternoon." "We finished this game the way we like to," Payton said. "Im proud of our guys." Arizona (1-2) had a 7-0 lead after driving 80 yards on the games opening possession, with Alfonso Smith scoring on a 3-yard run. After that, the Cardinals didnt score. "They can rush the passer. Theres two really good pass rushers that people dont know a lot about,&qquot; said Palmer, who was 18 of 35 for 187 yards. Cheap Sports Jerseys. "Cameron Jordan is really good. He showed that today. Junior Galette is really good. They are physical guys. They stop the run. They rush the passer and are a really good combination." Brees was 29 of 46 for 342 yards. He was intercepted once by New Orleans native and former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu. That ended a scoring threat, but only delayed the inevitable on a day when Arizonas short-handed defence was little match for the prolific Saints passing attack. Arizona, whose defence was missing four starters by early in the second half, had no answer for the 6-foot-7 Graham, who caught nine passes for 134 yards, one week after catching 10 passes for 179 yards in Tampa Bay. "We had critical injuries, and some young guys had to chip in and play," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "They didnt handle it as well as I hoped." The Saints responded quickly to the Cardinals opening score with Brees pinpoint 27-yard pass to Meachem. New Orleans took the lead in the second quarter on Brees 16-yard, back-shoulder throw to Graham, who went up high and twisted to make a grab that safety Yeremiah Bell was powerless to stop. "Its just run, jump and get it," said Graham, a former college basketball power forward. "Thats just what we do." Brees TD scramble made it a three-score game early in the fourth. Vaccaros interception thwarted the next drive and started the series that culminated with Grahams second TD on a quick 7-yard pass over the middle. "Today was a huge step for us," said Saints middle linebacker Curtis Lofton, who joined New Orleans as a free agent in 2012, only to be part of the first Saints team to miss the playoffs in three seasons. "Last year, I dont know what that was, but this year is what I definitely expected. I love being here." NOTES: Cardinals starting NT Dan Williams was excused for the death of his father in a car accident. OLB Lorenzo Alexander (right foot) and S Rashad Johnson went out in the first half, and OLB Sam Acho (left ankle) went down in the third quarter. ... Saints WR Lance Moore left the game in the second half and the Saints did not provide an update on his condition. ' ' '
