NBA: Miami 120, Orlando 92

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 20 (UPI) -- LeBron James paced a more balanced attack that usual for Miami Wednesday, one that let the Heat pull away in the second half for a 120-92 pounding of Orlando.

Five Miami players scored in double figures with contributions needed throughout the lineup while Dwyane Wade was sitting out his second straight game with foot discomfort.
