MIAMI (AP)\u2014With the playoffs looming, LeBron James<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> Dwyane Wade<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and Chris
\nBosh<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> are finding a new gear.<\/p>\n

And they accomplished something Sunday that hadn\u2019t been done in more than 50
\nyears.<\/p>\n

Each of them had 30-10 nights\u2014James with 33 points and 10 rebounds, Bosh
\nhad 31 points and 12 rebounds, and Wade shook off a bruised tailbone to finish
\nwith 30 points and 11 boards\u2014as the Miami Heat<\/a> beat the Houston Rockets<\/a>
\n125-119 for their eighth win in nine games.<\/p>\n

It was the first time since February 1961 that three teammates finished with
\nat least 30 points and 10 rebounds in a non-overtime game.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnbelievable,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we get paid the big bucks,\u201d Wade said.<\/p>\n

The last time a team had three players score 30 in the same game was Feb.
\n26, 2010, when Houston had Martin, Aaron Brooks<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> and Scola combine for 94 against
\nSan Antonio. Before that, you\u2019d have to go back all the way to Nov. 14, 1997,
\nwhen Portland\u2019s Isaiah Rider, Brian Grant and Arvydas Sabonis all had 30-plus
\npoints and 10 or more rebounds in a quadruple-overtime win over Phoenix.<\/p>\n

But doing it in regulation, the last time that happened was a half-century
\nago, when Oscar Robertson, Jack Twyman and Wayne Embry\u2014Hall of Famers all\u2014
\ndid it for the Cincinnati Royals in a loss to the Philadelphia Warriors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things we talked about when we came together was making
\nhistory,\u201d Bosh said.<\/p>\n

Mike Bibby<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> added 14 points for the Heat, who beat Houston by the same score
\non Dec. 29.<\/p>\n

Kevin Martin<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 29 points, Luis Scola<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> added 28 and Kyle Lowry<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>\u2014who
\ntweaked an ankle late\u2014had 25 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the
\nRockets. Chase Budinger<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 16 for Houston, which had a five-game winning
\nstreak snapped.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started man-to-man and Wade and James just ran by us,\u201d Rockets coach
\nRick Adelman said. \u201cThen we went to a zone and we knew that was going to be a
\nproblem. Even then, we didn\u2019t put a body on people. We were trying to keep them
\nfrom getting the easy opportunities and we didn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wade sealed it with 33 seconds left, taking a handoff from James and making
\na left-handed layup while getting knocked into a row of courtside photographers
\nfor a 120-115 lead. The Heat never trailed in the fourth quarter, taking the
\nlead for good when James Jones<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> made three free throws with 9:22 remaining.<\/p>\n

The Rockets are 0-3 when trying to win six straight games this season, and
\nhaven\u2019t had a run of that many wins since February 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe gave everything we had,\u201d Martin said. \u201cWe just didn\u2019t execute well
\nenough.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Heat noticed late in the game that Bosh had 28 points, and after Miami\u2019s
\nstar trio combined for 91 points Friday in a win over Philadelphia, they talked
\nabout what it would be like for each of them to score 30.<\/p>\n

That chance came exactly one game later. And Bosh needed two trips to the
\nfoul line, but he got it done\u2014only to learn afterward of the historical
\nramifications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what makes great players special,\u201d Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
\n\u201cThey can be great during the year and still find another gear and another
\nlevel to go to. I think that\u2019s what you\u2019re seeing with those three guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t anywhere near as easy as their stat lines would indicate.<\/p>\n

Scola played off James at the top of the key with 3:35 left, the two-time
\nreigning MVP made a stepback jumper, and the Heat lead was 116-106. Lowry tipped
\nin his own missed layup with 51 seconds remaining to get Houston within 118-115,
\nbut Wade came through on the next Miami possession, and the Heat survived.<\/p>\n

\u201cToo many points,\u201d Scola said. \u201cWhen you play a team with Bosh, James and
\nWade, that\u2019s very dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Much like the 125-119 Heat win at Houston earlier this season, this was
\nanother track meet. Miami\u2019s 38 first-quarter points were its second-highest
\ntotal of the season\u2014and Houston\u2019s 37 points after 12 minutes were the
\nthird-most the Heat had given up this season.<\/p>\n

It was 71-68 at the half, Miami\u2019s highest-scoring opening two quarters in
\nmore than five years.<\/p>\n

Still, it didn\u2019t provide much of a cushion.<\/p>\n

The bigger concern was Wade, who bruised his tailbone after appearing to
\ntrip over teammate Juwan Howard\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> feet while trying to grab an offensive rebound
\nmidway through the second. He finished the half, but missed the first 7 1\/2 minutes
\nof the third quarter while being tended to in the Miami locker room.<\/p>\n

And the Rockets took advantage.<\/p>\n

Martin had 11 points in the third quarter, nine coming in an 89-second span.
\nHe made a 3-pointer with 5:20 left in the period, slapping his hands in
\nfrustration and yelling that he got fouled. So he drew shooting fouls on each of
\nHouston\u2019s next two possessions, including one while shooting a 3 with 4:30 left.
\nHe made all three foul shots and the Rockets were up 87-81.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Wade returned, and Miami got a spark.<\/p>\n

The Heat closed the quarter on a 12-4 run over the final 3:17, capped by
\nJames blowing past Patrick Patterson<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> for a dunk that knotted the game at 93
\nentering the fourth.<\/p>\n

NOTES: Miami outrebounded Houston 48-33. \u2026 The Rockets trailed for 7:12 of
\nthe opening quarter, which is 2:09 more than they trailed in their five previous
\ngames combined. \u2026 Roger Federer sat courtside, and actress Emmanuelle Chriqui
\ngot a loud ovation when she was shown on the arena scoreboards. \u2026 Martin, the
\nNBA\u2019s leader in free throws made this season with 523 entering Sunday, was 11
\nfor 12. \u2026 It was the second straight game in which Wade finished with at least
\n30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
