      Nowitzki, Mavericks Beat Heat at Home

      No Shaq, No Dwyane Wade: big problem last night for the spiraling Miami Heat, who lost again, this time in a tight one at Dallas, 94-89.

      Heat Hits 20 Losses as Cavs Roll

      LeBron had 25 points and 12 dimes in a Christmas day Cavaliers-Heat matchup that looked much more interesting at the beginning of the season. The Eastern Conference's past two champions were a combined 20-35 entering the game, which Cleveland won 96-82 with a strong second half. Dwyane Wade's foul-line 8-for-16 didn't help Miami's cause.

      LeBron Sits, Celtics Clamp Down on Cavs
