Cheap Jerseys MIAMI — They’ve been the “Big 3″ from the moment they signed in Miami last summer, and they’ll stay that way for the rest of their Heat tenure.Sometimes, one will stand above the others.And on Friday, Dwyane Wade was Miami’s star among stars.Down by 16 in the first half, Miami used a 23-2 second-quarter run to take the lead, then had a 24-5 spurt to erase an eight-point hole and put the game away in the fourth.

LeBron James finished with 32 points, Chris Bosh added 20 points, with both grabbing 10 rebounds. Wade’s stats somehow managed to overshadow both those efforts, especially after he personally outscored Philadelphia 18-17 in the fourth quarter.”They just had another gear,” 76ers coach Doug Collins said. “Those three guys got 91 points. That’s tough to beat.”Wade was rolling in ways not seen often. The last stat line like the one he finished with Friday came nearly a decade earlier to the day, March 23, 2001, when O’Neal finished with 40 points, 17 rebounds, eight assists, five blocks and three steals for the Los Angeles Lakers against Washington.O’Neal won a title that season. Five years later, he and Wade brought one to Miami. Now the Heat are thinking they can hoist the trophy in June again,

Philadelphia had an 18-6 run to take a 42-26 lead with 6:19 left in the half. The Heat were getting run out of their building, and by their hand — the 76ers forced 12 turnovers for 16 points in the game’s first 18 minutes, and not coincidentally, that separated the teams over that span.Wade shot 7 for 8 and had three blocks in the fourth, one more than Philadelphia managed in the entire game. And when things looked particularly bleak for Miami,
