MIAMI — Jermaine O'Neal called it, telling teammates in overtime that the next time someone drove the lane he would be there to take the charge.

That someone was Kobe Bryant.

And O'Neal delivered.

O'Neal stood his ground with 18.7 seconds left in the extra session and Bryant was whistled for an offensive foul. It was the final turning point as the Miami Heat beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 114-111, last night.

There were 19 ties and 31 lead changes, two more than any game in the league in 2009-10.

"He was there. He stepped up," said Dwyane Wade, who led the Heat with 27 points and 14 assists. "I saw it coming the whole way. That's J.O. — J.O. not only protects the basket by being a shotblocker, but he also protects it because he can take charges. And that's great. Everybody did their job tonight."

Bryant went left, looking for a layup that would have tied the game. Instead, O'Neal drew his team-best 19th charge of the season, and teammate Carlos Arroyo hit two free throws with 0.6 seconds left.

Bryant scored 39 points, including the overtime-forcing jumper with 3.3 seconds for the Lakers.

In papers filed Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court, Tawanna Iverson said their 8 1/4-year marriage is "irretrievably broken." She asks for full custody of the couple's five children, child support and alimony.

After returning to the 76ers as a free agent in December, Iverson returned to Atlanta in February to be with his family as they dealt with an undisclosed illness of his 4-year-old daughter, Messiah.
