114       80

Miami — Dwyane Wade scored 25 points in only 28 minutes, Jermaine O’Neal added 19 points on 6 of 7 shooting against his former team and the Miami Heat enjoyed their largest victory margin this season by topping the Indiana Pacers 114-80 on Sunday night.

   Michael Beasley scored 16 points and Udonis Haslem added 13 for Miami, 5-1 in its last six games. The Heat started 8 of 8 from the field for a 17-3 lead and never looked back, building a 66-44 advantage that was their largest at halftime since January 2007.

   Troy Murphy scored 16 for Indiana, which dropped its sixth straight. It could have been so much worse for the Pacers, too — they actually outscored Miami 14-0 during one first-half stretch, a brief blip in what was otherwise a Miami romp.
