PHILADELPHIA -- With  Dwyane Wade  and LeBron James doing most of the damage, the Miami Heat outduelled Philadelphia 76ers,   99-79, in the battle  of division leaders in the NBA on Friday.

Wade  fnished with  with  26 points while James  added 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who pulled away with a  dominant 15-0 run and  handed the Sixers just their third home loss of the season.

“We’re a dynamic team,” said Wade,  who used  a  pair of  ferocious dunks during the game-changing run that pushed the Sixers’ first sellout crowd of the  season toward the exits.

“Tonight was probably the best game from start to finish, as far as playing hard and communicating on both ends, that we had all season,” said James.

Mario Chalmers  added 13 points and  Chris Bosh  contributed  12 to help the Heat, who bounced  back  from  a   97-105 loss to the  Milwaukee Bucks despite  getting a season-high  40 points  from James.

Thaddeus Young scored 16 points and  Jrue Holiday and Jodie Meeks added 13 points apiece for the    Sixers, who snapped a four-game winning streak.

Andre Iguodala was limited to only 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting.

Rookie Andrew  Goudelock finished with 13 points.

The Lakers’ win , however, wasn’t secured  until Al Harrington  missed  a  3-point attempt with  two  seconds left  that would have  put Denver ahead.

“A step-back, that’s my favorite shot,” said Harrington, who hit two big 3-pointers earlier in the fourth quarter. “I thought it was going to go in.”

Matt Barnes  was fouled on the rebound  and sank two free throws with  two-tenths of a second  left.

Harrington  finished with 24 points  for  the Nuggets, who defeated  the  Clippers, 112-91, at Staples Center  on Thursday.

After the win over the Clippers, the Nuggets  immediately flew   back to Denver, which  was g etting  hit by a storm that dumped  more than a  foot on  snow on the Mile High City.

In  Boston, Paul Pierce scored 30 points and Kevin Garnett reached a  rebounding milestone in the Celtics’seventh victory in eight games.

Ray Allen scored nine of his 14 points in the last five minutes for the Celtics, who rallied to beat the Knicks.

Garnett totaled 15 points and eight rebounds, grabbing his 10,000th career defensive rebound in the second quarter.

He became the third player in NBA history to reach the mark, joining  former Celtic Robert Parish (10,117) and Karl Malone (11,406).

The Celtics also welcomed back the return of  Rajon Rondo, who missed eight games with a right wrist injury. He had seven points with seven assists.

Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 26 points. Tyson Chandler fouled out  with 20 points and 11 rebounds and Amare Stoudemire had 16 points and 11 rebounds.

The Knicks, who led by 12 early in the third quarter, have now lost 11 of 13 and fallen  to 8-15 overall.

In  Dallas,  Paul  George  scored a  career-high 30 points for Indiana,  making 11 of 19 shots including  seven of 11  from  three-point range.

David West added 20 points for the  Pacers, while  Danny Granger had 16 and   Darren Collison 13.

Roy Hibbert, the other Indiana starter, had  nine points and 14 rebounds.

The Pacers have won four consecutive games, three of those on the road. Their 10  road victories are tied with Chicago for the most in the NBA this season.

Dirk  Nowitzki  had a season-high  30  points for the Mavericks, failed to  score  on   nine of their first 12  possessions  of  the  second half.

Nowitzki  said  the team felt the  absence of injured  point guard Jason Kidd.

“Without Kidd out there directing the ball, it’s hard,” said Nowitzki.

Kidd could  return as early as Wednesday, when the Mavericks play at Denver.

The defeat came on the same day that Mavs owner Mark Cuban and Carlisle were fined by the NBA.

Cuban was fined $75,000 for criticizing  the  referees after a 95-86 loss to Oklahoma City.

Carlisle was docked $35,000 for  kicking a basketball into  the stands at that game.

“I think it’s fair. It’s irresponsible for a ball to go in the stands. You’re subject to a fine.”
