MIAMI -- Its not common for Chris Bosh to put up a big number of shots. Maybe the Miami Heat should make it happen more often. Bosh made his final eight shots on the way to a 31-point night, LeBron James added 27 points and 13 rebounds and the Heat never trailed in a 109-102 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Bosh was 15 for 22 from the field, 9 for 10 after halftime and 5 for 5 in the final quarter, when the Lakers made runs but never got the lead. "We know what hes capable of doing," James said. "When hes got his midrange working like that hes pretty dangerous. And that rim looked mighty big for him tonight." Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole each finished with 11 points to help the Heat beat the Lakers for the eighth time in their last nine meetings. Ray Allen added 10, and Miami shot 58 per cent and outrebounded the Lakers 48-35. Jodie Meeks and Pau Gasol each scored 22 points for the Lakers, who lost for the 14th time in their last 17 outings. Nick Young added 19 points -- needing 20 shots to do it -- for Los Angeles, which nearly came all the way back from a 16-point second-half deficit. "They are probably battling complacency," Lakers coach Mike DAntoni said of the Heat. "But all that really matters is winning championships. Thats their problem. Were just trying to win a game -- two different teams on two different tracks." Bosh had the biggest shot of the night with 54.4 seconds left, head-faking his way free at the top of the key, stepping in and hitting a 20-footer to give Miami a 108-101 lead and making it a three-possession game. The Heat forced a miss on the Lakers next trip, then held on from there. The Heat improved to 28-5 when Bosh scores at least 25 points and 9-0 when he gets at least 20 shots, those records including post-season play. "I like it," Bosh said. "Its fun, especially when theyre going in. If you go 8 for 20, thats no fun. But when the shots are falling and teammates are looking for me, its a good feeling." Miami was without Dwyane Wade for the fourth straight game and 13th time in 43 contests this season, giving him more time to rest his oft-problematic knees. Allen started again in Wades place. Meanwhile, the Lakers started the same lineup for the third straight game, which for them in this injury-decimated season represents an actual accomplishment. Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Jordan Farmar and Xavier Henry all remain sidelined, and yet the Lakers still wouldnt succumb quietly in this one. They did, however, allow at least 100 points for the 10th straight game. "We really have to be better at communicating and get each other going and letting each other know where were at," Gasol said. "Lets see if we can do that for the rest of the trip and forward." Down by 16 early in the third quarter, the Lakers found a way to keep things interesting. Meeks had seven points in the third quarter, a dunk by Young got the margin to single-digits briefly and a three-point play from Gasol with 10:47 left got Los Angeles to 85-78. About a minute later, off Miamis 15th turnover of the night, Young got a layup, the Heat lead was down to five and before long, James and Bosh re-entered to try and ensure the Heat wouldnt totally collapse. Right on cue, Bosh scored to end the mini-rally by the Lakers, then forced a missed jumper by Gasol on the next Los Angeles possession, and Cole weaved his way through the lane -- treating defenders like an obstacle course -- for a layup that restored a nine-point Miami edge, waking up a building that had been fairly quiet for a few minutes. One more time, the Lakers came back. Youngs 3-pointer rattled off the rim and down with 4:09 left, cutting Miamis lead to 98-94, but Allen answered with a 3-pointer off an assist by James on Miamis next possession. "Once they get set up defensively, its hard ot get anything done," Meeks said. NOTES: The Heat improved to 7-6 without Wade this season. Theyre 24-6 when he plays. ... James is now within 13 points of catching Clyde Drexler for 28th on the NBAs career scoring list. Drexler had 22,195 points in 1,086 games. Thursday night was James 807th contest. ... The Lakers fell to 2-3 on their seven-game trip, while Staples Center is prepped to host the Grammy Awards. ...
