CHARLOTTE: LeBron James scored 38 points and Dwyane Wade added 31 point as the Miami Heat dominated the second half to beat the short-handed Charlotte Bobcats 96-82 on Monday for their 11th straight road win. Playing for the first time against Paul Silas, his first NBA coach in Cleveland, James scored 26 of his points in the second half and added nine rebounds. Wade grabbed 11 boards in Miami's 18th win in 19 games. Stephen Jackson scored 22 points and D.J. Augustin added 16 for the Bobcats, who shot 38 percent from the field with 15 turnovers. Magic 110, Warriors 90: At Orlando, Florida, Hedo Turkoglu had 10 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, and Dwight Howard added 22 points and 17 rebounds as Orlando beat Golden State. Jason Richardson scored 20 points for the Magic, who had 76 points in the second half after trailing 53-44 at halftime. Monta Ellis led Golden State with 20 points and Dorell Wright added 17 points. Celtics 96, Timberwolves 93: At Boston, Paul Pierce scored 23 points to help Boston overcome a double-digit deficit – and another double-digit rebounding performance by Kevin Love – to beat Minnesota. Love had 24 rebounds and 12 points, but he airballed a jumper with just over a minute left and Minnesota trailing by one. Michael Beasley scored 19, including Minnesota's last eight points, but his desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer bounced harmlessly off the backboard.
