It was their biggest margin in the game. Golden State chopped at the deficit throughout the fourth quarter on a 21-9 run and tied the contest 93-93 with 1:44 remaining. Following three foul shots made by Miami, former Heat player Dorell Wright hit a three-point shot from the left side to tie it with 31 seconds left in regulation. Monta Ellis drained a field goal with 34 seconds remaining in overtime to give the Warriors a three-pont cushion and the eventual victory. Miami lost their first road game this season and dropped to 8-2. Dwyane Wade finished with 34 points and six rebounds while LeBron James added 26 points, 11 rebounds and seven rebounds.
