Dwyane Wade and the Heat rolled into Orlando for a Thanksgiving Eve primetime showdown for a test for the Eastern conference. They passed.

The Heat came back on the Magic despite being down in the 4th quarter by nine points with just over 5 minutes to go. Dwyane Wade didn’t shoot well, 6/20, but he gave his team the presence they needed to fight to the finish.

Dwight Howard had a rough night offensively but the Heat bits did a solid job limiting hos effectiveness. Yet the Magic had several chances to take the game back. Jason Williams missed two free throws coming on a Heat desperation foul after Vince Carter hit a three to take the lead.

Seizing the moment, the Heat inbounded and got a missed shot from Wade which turned into a Michael Beasley dunk for the difference in the game. The Magic fans left quietly, going home to prepare from their Thanksgivings. But it is the Heat who will be celebrating.
