Heat End Four-Game Skid

Chris Bosh's 34 points helped the Heat put an end to a four-game losing streak on Tuesday

The Miami Heat ended a season high four-game skid on Tuesday with their 103-97 win over the Phoenix Suns.

This was the first win in December for Miami as it has struggled to stay competitive in the month. All four losses had been by double digits and had come mostly on the road. With the win, the Heat are now 10-11 on the season.

Chris Bosh led all players with his 34 points in 36 minutes of play. Bosh has been a consistent source of production all season long for Miami and that continued on Tuesday. The veteran added nine rebounds and four steals. Bosh was also 4-6 on his three-point attempts including one big made shot down the stretch.

Luol Deng appeared to be fully healthy in his second game back following a hand injury. Deng had 23 points, four boards, three assists, two blocks and a steal. The forward had his three-point shot working as well with a 3-4 day.

Josh McRoberts played a key role in the win with his ability to move the ball to the right man. McRoberts had seven assists to go along with four rebounds and ten points. Continuing the trend of the day, McRoberts was also solid from downtown making both his tries.

As a team, Miami was efficient as it made 53.8% of its shots. The team was also highly active and strong on defense with a combined 14 steals in the game.

The Heat will be right back on the court on Wednesday when they head to Denver for a game with the Nuggets.
