Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Dwyane Wade returned from his All-Star Game MVP performance to score 24 points, leading the Miami Heat to a 105-78 blowout of Philadelphia Tuesday.
Wade also distributed six assists and grabbed six rebounds in the lopsided win, while Jermaine O'Neal added 20 points and six rebounds for the Heat, who stretched their winning streak to three games.
The Heat got 13 points and nine rebounds from Udonis Haslem while Quentin Richardson chipped in 10 points and 10 boards as Miami shot 51.2 from the field to dominate the Sixers.
Miami's 10-0 run early in the second quarter proved decisive, with O'Neal scoring the final four points of the outburst to put the Heat up 37-24.
Thaddeus Young scored 16 points to lead Philadelphia in a game that saw the return of Allen Iverson, who had missed the last five games to be with his ill daughter. He connected on just 1-of-7 shots from the floor.
