Basketball: Heat crush Cavaliers with first-half romp, honour Wade

LOS ANGELES - Miami broke the franchise record for points in the first half en route to a 124-105 rout of the Cleveland Cavaliers on a night when the Heat retired the jersey of guard Dwyane Wade.

Thirteen time All-Star Wade helped Miami to three NBA championships and is the organisation's all-time leader in games, points, assists and steals."Kobe said the most important thing is to try to inspire others so they can be great in whatever they try to do," Wade said."I hope I inspired you. Thank you for making me a part of your legacy. Please know you're a huge part of mine.

Cedi Osman had 19 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, while Collin Sexton added 17 points and Tristan Thompson scored 16 for the Cavaliers who own the worst record in the Eastern Conference. The reigning NBA MVP made eight of 27 shots for 18 points in that contest before erupting for 36 points and 20 rebounds in Milwaukee's 112-101 victory over the 76ers on Feb 6.

To make matters worse for Philadelphia was the early departure of fellow All-Star Ben Simmons, who aggravated a back injury on a lay-up midway into the first quarter. He promptly retreated to the locker room and did not return, scoring just five points in five minutes.In Utah, James Harden scored 38 points, Russell Westbrook added 34 and Houston beat Utah 120-110 on the road for the second time in four weeks.
