PHILADELPHIA (AP) a LeBron James had 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his 35th job triple-double and the Miami Heat cruised with their 10th immediately win, 114-90 within the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night. Dwyane Wade had 33 things, Mario Chalmers scored 14 and Chris Bosh added 13 to help the defending NBA champions improve to 39-14. Heat have a cushty 5A-game lead over Indiana in the Eastern Conference. They've won four in a line on the road, including impressive victories over Oklahoma City prior to the All-Star split and Chicago on Thursday. Jrue Holiday scored 21 points and Nick Young had 19 for Philadelphia, which proceeds to drop further behind in the playoff chase. Games were entered 3A by the Sixers behind Milwaukee for the Number. 8 place in the East. A rare sellout audience proved for the nightcap of an doubleheader at the Wells Fargo Center to see James, Wade and Co. There have been also scalpers outside the world selling seats before the game for one of the few big draws of the growing season. Fans roared when Spencer Hawes declined James' shot late in the initial quarter, swatting the ball back at the three-time NBA MVP's face. A lot of the same people got to their feet and cheered when James put down a dunk off an alley-oop pass from Norris Cole late in the 3rd quarter. By that time, the Heat were up 85-63 and the crowd was more thinking about seeing James produce a highlight play than rooting for the Sixers. James got his first "Ooohs" and "Ahhhs" after having a no-look backdoor move to Bosh for a simple layup in the first. Chalmers used with a reverse lay-up and a spectrum 3-pointer to offer heat a 24-22 guide and they never trailed again. His 10th rebound was collected by james early in the fourth quarter to have his seventh triple-double since joining heat. When he visited the table fleetingly afterward he got a combination of boos and cheers. A long jumper and Wade came in following a short rest and continued his hot firing, rating six straight factors on a layup, two free throws. He was 12 of 14 at that time before missing a 3-pointer. As the Heat are gearing as much as produce a run at a, the Sixers have lost four straight to fall a season-worst nine games below.500 at 22-31. It's been a frustrating year for Philadelphia, which knocked off top-seeded Chicago in the first round of the playoffs a year ago and then got Boston to seven games in the conference quarterfinals. A period that began with promise following the order of heart Andrew Bynum rapidly fell apart. Bynum has yet to play in 2010 to a game title because of bone bruises in both knees. He said earlier in the week he plans to perform at some time. At this price, it will not matter much for the Sixers. Notes: The Flyers defeat the Winnipeg Jets 5-3 in an afternoon tennis game. ...
