MIAMI- Chris Bosh scored all of his 10 points in the fourth quarter, sparking Miami's 109-89 come from behind win over the Houston Rockets on Sunday night at the American Airlines Arena.
The Rockets, who played without Dwight Howard, led as many as 21 points in the first half as they made 9 3-point shots to the Heat's zero.
After getting some pep talk from an emotional Heat captain Udonis Halsem and after a few adjustments by head coach Erik Spoelstra, Miami matched Houston's small lineup in the second half and outscored them 65-26.
"It was sparked by the intensity and momentum from our defense. Guys were playing. Whatever available. We weren't running specific plays to get people off and there were different contributions.", Spoelstra spoke about the second half turnaround after the game.
Hassan Whiteside led Miami with 25 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. Dwyane Wade added 20 points and dished out 8 assists for Miami's second home win of the season.
Marcus Thornton notched 21 points for the winless Rockets . James Harden struggled and shot just 2 of 15 from the field but still managed 16 points for the contest.
Miami is now 29-28 all time versus the Houston Rockets.
