MIAMI, March 11 (UPI) -- Dwyane Wade put together a second straight sensational outing Wednesday, pouring in 32 points in lifting Miami to a 107-99 victory over Boston.

Wade was coming off a game in which he hit a winning 3-pointer at the buzzer in a double-overtime triumph over Chicago. His long-range shot in the final minute Wednesday wrapped up the Heat's fourth win in five games.

Jamario Moon added 13 points in helping Miami down the Celtics for the first time in seven tries.

Ray Allen led Boston with 27 points, but he scored only three of those in the second half. It was the Celtics' fourth loss in seven games as they continue to play without superstar Kevin Garnett, who is recovering from a knee injury.

Boston also played without Rajon Rondo (ankle). Paul Pierce added 16 points and Kendrick Perkins had 13.

Miami owned a 15-point lead early in the fourth quarter and then had to fight off a Boston charge that brought the Celtics within one with less than 5 minutes to play.

The Heat rebuilt the lead to five going into the final minute and Wade clinched it by hitting a 3-pointer with 34.8 seconds left that accounted for the final score.
