Maggette’s Magic Hampers Heat
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14 (Ticker) -- Corey Maggette did it early and then did it
late to send the Miami Heat home on a losing note.
Maggette finished an impressive set of overtime periods with a difficult
fallaway jumper in the final second as the Clippers posted a 114-112
double-overtime victory over the Heat.
Maggette scored 10 points in the first quarter but seemed to disappear
thereafter. When the teams went into overtime, he woke up. Maggette scored
seven points in the first extra session and nailed the door shut with a pair
of impressive scores in the second OT.
After Damon Jones hit a running jumper to give Miami a 112-110 lead with 32
seconds left, Maggette responded six seconds later with a strong drive past
Shaquille O'Neal for a game-tying layup with 26 seconds to play.
Maggette took the ensuing inbounds pass, and with swingman Shandon Anderson
in his face, drained a tough 22-footer from the right side. The Heat never
got off a tying shot.
Maggette scored 28 points and Elton Brand had 29 and 13 rebounds for the
Clippers, who overcame an early 16-point deficit.
O'Neal scored 39 points to finish a strong road trip and forced the second
overtime with a follow shot with two seconds left. He was a season-high
15-of-28 from the line - better than his 47 percent season mark - but missed
five late in regulation and in the overtimes.
The Heat fell to 3-1 in overtime games and 2-3 on their trip. They had won
15 of 16 before the swing began.
