Good time for Eddie House to get hot, in the game he knew he'd get huge minutes.
That career-high 35 points might not be enough to convince Erik Spoelstra to get him into games come the playoffs, but it does go to show you that he's a great option to have. No one's sure if Mike Miller or James Jones can stay healthy for the entire playoffs, so House doing that is a good confidence boost heading into the postseason.
Jamaal Magloire's 19 rebounds was kinda fun, too, but probably most important is that James Jones continued his red-hot shooting. After hitting 4 of 6 from three in Toronto, James is now 18 of his last 28 from distance (64.3 percent) over his last eight games. After that extended slump mid-season, this monster recovery has to bode well for Miami
In case you missed it, the Heat's playoff schedule for the first round goes like this:
Game 1, Saturday 3:30pm in Miami
Game 2, Monday 7pm in Miami
Game 3, Thursday TBD in Philadelphia
Game 4, Sunday 1pm in Philadelphia
