LeBron James scored 35 points and Dwyane Wade added 21 points and 12 assists to spark the reigning NBA champion Miami Heat over Phoenix 107-92 for their seventh win in a row. James on Monday connected on 11-of-14 shots from the field while Wade enjoyed his most assists in a game in more than three years as Miami improved to 11-3 and moved three games ahead of Atlanta atop the Southeast division. Ray Allen scored nine of his 17 points in the fourth quarter as Miami pulled away late to inflict the most lopsided loss of the season on the Suns, who fell to 7-7.
