MIAMI — The New York Knicks made Dwyane Wade bleed.

So he made them pay.

Telling the packed arena more than once that "this is my house," Wade scored 46 points, 15 of them coming in a dramatic 19-0 spurt that erased a huge deficit in the final nine minutes and carried the Miami Heat to a 120-115 win over the Knicks last night.

And think that Knicks-Heat rivalry from years ago is over? Think again.

"When I'm angry, I attack," said Wade, who tied a franchise record with 24 points in the fourth quarter. "That's what I did."

Miami trailed 103-88 after Wade received a bloody lip that needed three stitches after the game and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra earned a technical for arguing why no foul was called. Wade was popped by New York's Danilo Galinari with an elbow, which the officiating crew saw as the Heat star taking a dive.

Big mistake.

"He had that look in his eye that we hadn't seen since Dallas," Spoelstra said.

No, this wasn't the 2006 NBA finals. But it was just as dramatic in many respects.

"It was a simple game plan in the fourth quarter: Just get them to take a shot at Dwyane and make him bleed," Spoelstra said. "At that point, it (ticked) him off and it (ticked) off the rest of the team. Our intensity level went through the roof."

Wade scored the game's next six points, and the comeback was on. The Knicks missed eight straight shots, eventually battled back into a tie at 114, but Wade gave the Heat the lead for good by hitting a jumper with 1:04 left.

"A punch in the stomach," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. "Just gut wrenching."

Wade also had 10 assists, Jermaine O'Neal scored 18 points and Jamario Moon added 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat.

Nate Robinson led the Knicks with 29 points off the bench, but missed a 3-pointer that would have tied it in the final seconds. Larry Hughes and Chris Duhon each scored 19 and David Lee had an 18-point, 13-rebound night for New York.

Magic 106, 76ers 100: Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu scored 23 points each and Orlando tied a franchise record with 37 3-point tries in its comeback win over host Philadelphia.

Courtney Lee contributed 18 points, Dwight Howard added 12 and Rafer Alston had 11 for the Magic (43-16), who improved to 21-9 on the road, the third best record in the NBA.

The Magic swept the three-game series for the first time since the 1997-98 season.

Andre Miller had 23 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Sixers. Andre Iguodala added 22 points and Willie Green 19.

Thunder 99, Grizzlies 92: Jeff Green had 27 points and 10 rebounds, Russell Westbrook added 25 points and Oklahoma City snapped a seven-game losing streak by beating host Memphis.

The Thunder won despite playing without Kevin Durant, the league's fourth-leading scorer, who suffered a right ankle sprain in Friday night's 110-108 overtime loss to Dallas.

Thabo Sefolosha, playing only his fourth game for Oklahoma City, had season-highs of 15 points and 11 rebounds. Nenad Krstic also scored 10 points.

Rudy Gay scored 20 points to lead Memphis.

Bulls 105, Rockets 102: Derrick Rose scored 16 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter, and host Chicago rallied from a 17-point deficit with six minutes left to beat Houston despite losing forward Luol Deng to injury.

The Bulls outscored the Rockets 23-3 down the stretch to break the Rockets' season-high six-game win streak. It was Chicago's first win since the deaths of franchise icons Norm Van Lier and Johnny "Red" Kerr.

Ron Artest scored a season-best 32 points to lead the Rockets. Deng sustained what he said was likely a stress fracture in his right tibia in the first half.

Bucks 109, Wizards 93: Charlie Villanueva scored 25 points and Richard Jefferson added 22 to lift host Milwaukee, which opened a double-digit lead early and never trailed against Washington.

Reserve Dan Gadzuric had 10 points and 11 rebounds, and Ramon Sessions added 12 points and 10 assists. The Bucks also got 13 points from rookie Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.

Washington never looked interested in defense, allowing Milwaukee to shoot 52 percent, including 11-of-19 from 3-point range.

Antawn Jamison had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Caron Butler scored 19 for Washington.

Jazz 102, Kings 89: Ronnie Brewer scored a career-high 26 points and host Utah beat Sacramento to increase its winning streak to seven straight, hours after Jazz owner Larry Miller's funeral.

Mehmet Okur also scored 26 and Deron Williams added 16 points and 11 assists for the Jazz.

The day started somberly for Utah with the funeral for Miller, who died eight days before of complications from diabetes, but ended with a fitting send-off for their longtime owner.

Kevin Martin had 19 points to lead the Kings.

Bobcats 100, Clippers 95: Emeka Okafor had 28 points and nine rebounds, Raja Bell scored nine of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and Charlotte won its third straight by beating host Los Angeles.

The Bobcats, who entered the NBA in 2004-05, beat the Clippers for the fourth straight time after losing the first six meetings. Okafor made 11 of 17 shots, while Boris Diaw had 15 points.

Zach Randolph had 33 points and nine rebounds for Los Angeles.

NOTES

Jazz: Utah Jazz owner Larry H. Miller received a fitting farewell in Salt Lake City.

His funeral was held in the arena he built, his casket painted in the scheme of his beloved Shelby Cobras and his five children each driving a sports car in the procession to the cemetery where Miller was laid to rest yesterday.

Miller, 64, died of complications from diabetes on Feb. 20. His funeral was held eight days later at EnergySolutions Arena, home of the NBA franchise Miller twice kept from leaving his hometown. NBA commissioner David Stern and former players, including Karl Malone, were among about 2,000 people who attended the 90-minute ceremony.

Heat: The Miami Heat will retire Alonzo Mourning's No. 33 jersey in a halftime ceremony March 30, when Miami hosts the Orlando Magic. His will be the first Heat jersey to be retired by the team.

Mourning was part of Miami's NBA championship in 2006, a seven-time All-Star and two-time NBA defensive player of the year. He finished with career averages of 17.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocked shots.

Mourning suffered what essentially amounted to a career-ending injury on Dec. 19, 2007 — the fourth anniversary of his lifesaving kidney transplant.

He tried to return this season for one final campaign, but retired for good on Jan. 22.

Rockets: Houston waived little-used shooting guard Luther Head yesterday. The 6-foot-3 Head appeared in only 22 games this season and has been out since Jan. 10 with a right foot injury. Head started only four games this season and was averaging 4.8 points and 15 minutes.
