Miami Heat 95, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS 84

Still The King’s Home – LeBron James didn’t build that house, but he owns it. He scored 28 points with eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals in another relatively easy win. Dwyane Wade added 22 with two steals and even Michael Beasley (!) got into the act, scoring 17 points with nine rebounds off the bench. The Cavs got 24 points from Dion Waiters, who has been the subject of many trade rumors. Keep an eye on that one.

Chicago Bulls 99, DETROIT PISTONS 79

No Rose, No Thorns – Yeah, that makes sense. Lose Derrick Rose and start playing better. OK then. Luol Deng scored 27 with six rebounds, five assists and two steals, with Taj Gibson coming off the bench to score 23 with eight rebounds. The Bulls shot 53.2 percent as a team. The Pistons got 25 from Rodney Stuckey off the bench, with Andre Drummond (10-11) and Josh Smith (13-11) putting up point-rebound double-doubles.
