LeBron returns to spark Heat over grizzlies

LeBron James, returning to the
line-up after missing a game with
back spasms, scored 15 points and
added seven assists on Friday to
spark reigning NBA champion Miami
over Memphis 91-86.
James, who missed a Wednesday loss to Boston,
went 7-of-14 from the floor and also contributed six
rebounds as the Heat closed the game on a 14-2
run to pull out the triumph.
Ray Allen came off the bench to score 18 points
while Dwyane Wade had 14, as the Heat won the
third time in four games but only the fourth in the
past 10 starts.
Zach Randolph led the Grizzlies with 25 points and
14 rebounds.
Baskets by Mike Conley and Courtney Lee staked
Memphis to an 84-77 lead with 4:08 remaining
before Miami rallied.
Allen started the spurt with a 3-pointer, James
followed with a layup and Wade scored off a
rebound to level the score with 92 seconds to play.
Wade added two free throws and James hit a jump
shot for Miami. Conley kept Memphis in the hunt
with a lay-in to move within 88-86 but an Allen dunk
with 14 seconds remaining sealed Miami's victory.
