Dwyane Wade leads the way as Miami Heat outlasts Oklahoma City Thunder

The last lead change belonged to Dwyane Wade -- and with it went a victory for the Miami Heat.

Wade scored 28 points, the last two on free throws with 1.5 seconds remaining to give the Heat a 97-95 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in a wild back-and-forth game at Miami that featured 38 lead changes and 11 ties.

Chris Bosh scored 16 points and Goran Dragic 14 for the Heat, which survived when Russell Westbrook’s three-point attempt from the right wing bounced off the backboard as time expired.

“That felt like the playoffs,” Wade said. “That was our best game of the year. From start to finish we really executed. We took the individual challenge. They’ve got two of the greatest players in our game and they’ve got a good team so this is our best win of the year.”

Westbrook and Kevin Durant each scored 25 points for the Thunder.

No other NBA game has had more than 25 lead changes this season — and in Wade’s 13-season career with the Heat, no Miami game ever had more than 31.

“My stomach’s in knots,” Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra said. “These guys love it. They love it. This is what you play for. Thursday night, at home, in Miami. The guys don’t even feel the type of anxiety or pressure that we do. It’s excitement for them.”
