LEBRON JAMES scored 28 points, Dwyane Wade scored 11 of his 24 in the final 5 minutes - when Miami needed him most - and the Heat extended the NBA's longest current winning streak to 11 games, beating the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers, 109-105, Sunday night.

LEBRON JAMES scored 28 points, Dwyane Wade scored 11 of his 24 in the final 5 minutes - when Miami needed him most - and the Heat extended the NBA's longest current winning streak to 11 games, beating the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers, 109-105, Sunday night.

The Heat blew a 22-point, second-half lead then rallied from eight down with 5:16 left.

"We're a veteran ballclub and we've been in every situation that an NBA game can offer us," James said. "We don't get too high, we don't get too low, we just play the 48 minutes out and see where it takes us."

Dion Waiters scored 26 points for Cleveland.
