It's the Miami Heat's turn to attack. Wade initiates offense with a solo breakthrough against Zhang Yang.
This time, Afflalo is more determined to collapse, joining his teammates to complete a joint defense against Wade. Okafor doesn't move out to cover Chalmers, but effectively cuts off the line between Wade and Chalmers. Brad Miller positions himself between Wade and the basket... The Bobcats' 1-3-1 defense collaboration is excellent this time.
But Wade still finds a scoring opportunity. He makes a small-range ground pass; Beasley seizes the chance to cut back, shaking off Felton, who switches defense, to reach the left side of the basket. He receives the ball behind Brad Miller and scores with a layup!
17 to 23, the Miami Heat narrows the gap to 6 points.
In this play, Beasley showcases the keen scoring instinct that he was praised for many times during his college days.
