SALT LAKE CITY - At 3 p.m., the training staff told Miami coach Erik Spoelstra that Dwyane Wade was sick and probably would not be able to play.A few hours later Wade was in the Heats starting lineup ready to go.Wade had only eaten half a bowl of chicken noodle soup in the past 24 hours but summoned the energy to score a season-high 29 points, including three free throws in the final 9 seconds, to help Miami beat the Utah Jazz 100-95 on Friday night.He dug deep tonight. We all just appreciated that he was just out there with his spirit but then to have a game like that was tremendous, Spoelstra said.Wade made 10 of 16 shots and recorded seven assists, despite his illness.You dont ever want to be sick at all, but I do know when you have an injury or if youre sick, it makes you focus a bit better, Wade said.Chris Bosh had 22 points and Luol Deng added 14 for the Heat, who closed a five-game road swing on a winning note after losing five of their previous six.Enes Kanter scored 25 points, Gordon Hayward had 18 and Alec Burks 16 for Utah, which has lost 10 of its last 11 games.Wades final free throw attempt with 5.2 seconds remaining rimmed out, leaving the score 98-95 and giving the Jazz a chance to tie. However, Joe Ingles failed to get the ball inbounds within 5 seconds after a time out, turning the ball back over to the Heat.I knew they were trying to go to Hayward at the top of the key. I just wanted to be on top of him and change his route so hed be in the 2 area, instead of the 3. As soon I saw them line up, we knew the play and put ourselves in position to stop it, Deng said.Norris Cole was then fouled and made both free throws with 2.1 seconds remaining for the final margin.Bosh broke a nearly 4-minute drought with a jumper at the 58-second mark to put Miami in front, 95-89.We felt like we could salvage the road trip with a solid win tonight but we knew it wasnt going to be easy. Defensively, we answered the bell, Bosh said.The Heat had to overcome a rare out-of-bounds travel by Deng and four quick points by Hayward along with a layup by Rodney Hood before the last-gasp inbounding gaffe.After the Jazz trimmed the edge to one point in the fourth quarter, Wade and Mario Chalmers made back-to-back 3-pointers to put the Heat back in command until the final minute.Down by 16 points in the third quarter, the Jazz stormed back behind the slim, shot-blocking combo of Jeremy Evans and Rudy Gobert. Dante Exums 3-pointer at the end of the period completed a 15-3 run and closed the gap to 78-74.Wade had scored 20 or more points in nine consecutive games but then had two subpar outings, before the outburst against the Jazz.Why shots started falling now, when I felt bad, no one knows, Wade said.Early on, the Heat encountered little resistance to their drive-and-dish offence, which produced open shots in the first half. Miami shot 63 per cent and led 62-47 at the break.We are getting a slow start and playing catch up. We have enough talent to beat every team in every quarter. But its tough, Kanter said.The Heat finished 50 per cent from the field.___TIP-INSHeat: Miamis 62 first-half points were the most the Heat have scored in an away game this season and the 63 per cent shooting was the best of any half. ...

JOHNS, N.L. -- Michael Hutchinson felt he played below his personal standards in Saturdays Game 1 loss to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. In Game 2 Sunday, he redeemed himself. The IceCaps goalie stopped 34 shots as St. Johns evened its American Hockey League Eastern Conference final at a game apiece with a 2-1 victory over the Penguins. "I felt pretty good about my game tonight," Hutchinson said. "Last night I wasnt overly thrilled with my performance and I knew I wanted to come out and play better for the guys in the room tonight. I tried to come in and make the saves to hold the team in as much as I could and then we got the lead." The IceCaps started the game according to plan Sunday, carrying a lead into the first intermission. "Our focus was on getting the first goal in the first period and getting a little momentum on our side to get the crowd behind us," said Kyle MacKinnon, who scored the first goal of the game. Carl Klingberg also scored for the IceCaps, while Anton Zlobin replied for the Penguins. St. Johns held Wilkes-Barre/Scranton scoreless in six power-play chances to help the team hold onto the lead. "It was unbelievable," Hutchinson said. "All thee players block shots and clear the puck to make my job a lot easier.dddddddddddd. When I have to make a save, it has to get through a lot of bodies before it makes it to me." "You never want to go down two games in a series, especially on home ice," Hutchinson added. "(Winning tonight) feels good and it is a confidence boost for us. I thought we played a lot better tonight than we did last night." MacKinnon opened the scoring for the IceCaps when he finished off a breakaway with a quick, high wrist shot after catching a Blair Riley stretch pass entering the blue-line 13:54 into the game. The IceCaps extended their lead when Klingberg got a stick on a Will ONeill slap shot from the point through traffic, finding the high right corner of the net at the 6:24 mark of the second period. Hutchinson kept the Penguins scoreless with a sprawling pad save to stone Harry Zolnierczyk on a breakaway with roughly six minutes left to play in the second period. With 1:04 left in the game, a cross-ice pass found Zlobin wide open in the left face-off dot, and he buried the puck top shelf over a sprawling Hutchinson to get the Penguins on the board. Penguins goalie Peter Mannino made 27 saves. ' ' '
