NEW YORK — LeBron James and Dwyane Wade combined for 79 points as the Miami Heat prevailed 141-129 in a double overtime marathon against the Sacramento Kings Tuesday. James scored 40 points, 16 assists and eight rebounds while Wade tacked on 39 to rescue the East-leading Heat (41-14) and give them a league-high 12th consecutive victory. Miami led 110-101 with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter before visiting Sacramento (19-39) ran them down with a frantic 11-2 run that included three consecutive three-pointers from Marcus Thornton. Thornton's shooting display, which included eight three pointers, contributed to 36 points of the visitor's total but it was not enough to cool the Heat. After both teams added 12 points in the first overtime, James tallied 11 points in the second as the home team outscored the Kings 17-5 to finally put away their brave opponent. Pacers 108, Warriors 97: The Indiana Pacers won their fifth-consecutive game Tuesday by beating the Golden State Warriors behind a 28-point effort by David West. Paul George finished with 21 points and 11 boards and George Hill had 23 points and six assists for the Pacers, who halted Golden State's modest win streak at three NBA games. Roy Hibbert finished with 13 points, nine rebounds and five blocks for the Pacers, who have won 10 of their last 12 games and have posted five straight wins in a row twice this month. Indiana had four players in double-figure scoring Tuesday including Hibbert, who was ejected in the fourth quarter after getting into a pushing match with the Warriors' David Lee before players from both teams joined the fray. Bucks 95, Mavericks 90: Monta Ellis scored 22 points for visiting Milwaukee. Dirk Nowitzki had 21 points and 20 rebounds for Dallas; his last 20-20 game came in 2003 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Cavaliers 101, Bulls 98: Dion Waiters scored 25 points to help make up for the absence of Kyrie Irving, who rested a sore right knee, and Cleveland ended an 11-game losing streak against host Chicago. Carlos Boozer scored 27 points and Luol Deng 26 for the Bulls, who have lost five of seven. The Bulls played their first game of the season without the reserve forward Taj Gibson, who sprained his left knee Sunday against Oklahoma City and is expected to miss at least two weeks. Suns 84, T'Wolves 83: Marcin Gortat, Wesley Johnson and Markieff Morris had 14 points apiece for Phoenix, which prevailed in overtime and ended a four-game home losing streak. Gortat hit a runner with 13 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime and scored on a hard drive with 45 seconds left in the extra period. In other games it was: Magic 98, 76ers 84; LA Clippers 106, Charlotte 84; and Brooklyn 101, New Orleans 97. — Agencies
