| Miami, FL (Sports Network) - The Miami Heat may be peaking at just the right time. Just ask the Boston Celtics. Both teams came into Sunday's anticipated bout with identical 55-24 records, but the meeting was an unexpected rout as Miami rolled to a 100-77 victory to gain sole possession of second place in the Eastern Conference standings. LeBron James led the way with 27 points and seven assists while Dwyane Wade had 14 and eight for the Heat, who have won 13 of their last 16 games. Paul Pierce |

MIAMI (AP) - No matter what happens Sunday, neither the Boston Celtics nor the Miami Heat will have wrapped up the No. 2 seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs. It may only seem that way. The Celtics may have taken all three games from Miami this season, but in actuality, the teams are even. Both are 55-24 with three games left, the first of those coming on the Heat home floor against one another Sunday afternoon. Teams with a No. 2 seed are guaranteed home-court advantage for at leas |
