The Miami Heat ended the game on a 9-0 run to steal a 110-108 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night. Ray Allen hit the game-clinching three-pointer with 18 seconds left after the Cavaliers led the game since the opening tip.

LeBron James led the Heat with 30 points, six rebounds and five assists, one of which went to Allen for the game-winning shot. Chris Bosh had 23 points and seven rebounds, and Dwyane Wade chipped in with 18 points, seven rebounds and four assists. The Heat shot over 52% from the floor as a team but had to overcome 18 turnovers to get the win.

Dion Waiters and Jeremy Pargo led the Cavs with 16 points each, but combined to shoot only 9-27 from the floor. The Cavs Anderson Varejao added 10 points and 15 rebounds, and also had four assists and four steals.

The Heat don't play again until next Thursday, Nov. 29, when they take on the San Antonio Spurs.
