Dwyane Wade Wins Final Home Game Ever

     Dwyane Wade played his final home game at American Airlines Arena on Tuesday night as the Miami Heat dismantled the Philadelphia 76ers 122-99. The Heat held a ten-minute ceremony honoring Wade prior to the contest. The Detroit Pistons won their game tonight and eliminated the Miami Heat from playoff contention.
     Wade made his first start of the season and made the first basket in the game for Miami(39-42) just 13 seconds in. The Heat stretched their lead out to 34-20 after one quarter. They controlled the first half and led 61-42 by halftime.  
     Philadelphia(50-31) trailed 91-60 after three quarters as the Heat scored the final 10 points of the frame. The 76ers never climbed to within single digits in the final quarter.
     Wade led the Heat with game-high 30 points. Bam Adebayo compiled a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Justice Winslow drained in 16 points while Hassan Whiteside added 15 points and nine rebounds. Ben Simmons had a team-high 16 points for the Sixers.
