James added two crucial blocks and made six free throws in the final two minutes and Bosh added a key rejection to lead the Heat to just their third win in eight games. Miami’s Dwyane Wade sat out resting his knees, but the Heat’s two other megastars put away the Cavs. Jarrett Jack scored 22 and Dion Waiters added 17 and 11 assists for Cleveland, which was also without for- ward Luol Deng (sprained ankle).
