The Miami Heat have notched another win to continue their recent run of impressive form as they overcame the Indiana Pacers 97-94 at the American Airlines Arena on Tuesday.
The hosts were down after the first two quarters, but pulled off effective returns in the third and fourth to ensure the win, with both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade turning in match-winning performances for Miami.
Dwayne managed to notch his first 30-point game of the season with 32 on 15-for-25 shooting, while James delivered 24 points, nine rebounds and seven assists despite looking a little off-kilter.
Meanwhile, in Boston, the Detroit Pistons pulled off a slender 107-106 victory over the Boston Celtics as the hosts threw away a 21-point lead at the TD Garden.
Boston had scored a season-high 42 points in the first quarter, though Brandon Jennings and Josh Smith led the fightback as the Pistons posted impressive second-half scores.
The story may have been different, however, if Boston man Jeff Green hadn't missed a contested runner as time expired late on.
At the Philips Arena, the Atlanta Hawks recorded their 12th straight win against the Sacramento Kings with a comfortable 124-107 victory, thanks to a standout showing from Kyle Korver.

Kevin Love joined the heights of previous famous stars as he helped to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 120-109 win against the Portland Trail Blazers, with the power forward becoming only the third player in NBA history to produce a 29-point, 15-rebound, nine-assist, four-three game.
Action at the US Airways Center saw the Phoenix Suns give up their five-game winning streak with a 108-101 defeat to the San Antonio Spurs.

In Houston, the Houston Rockets turned on the style to overcome the Chicago Bulls 109-94 at the Toyota Centre, to continue the franchise's worst stretch since beginning the 2004-05 season 2-13.
