The Heat handed the Washington Wizards a 107-95 setback Wednesday in South Beach, as Chris Bosh muscled his way to 26 points and 15 rebounds. Bosh made nine of his 18 attempts from the floor for Miami, which made 48.1 percent for the game and received a career high 23 points from Norris Cole. Its one game. We need to stay focused on what we need to do as a team and individually, said Bosh, who scored 16 points in the second quarter and signed a five-year $118 million deal in the offseason to remain in Miami.

Josh McRoberts, Udonis Haslem and Danny Granger all sat out the season opener with various injuries. The availability off all three is unknown for Saturday, but all are expected to be active.

I stayed within myself and looked to take better shots, said Noel, who struggled to six points in his NBA debut on Wednesday. Hollis Thompson was the 76ers leading scorer with 15 points against the Bucks. Tony Wroten also posted 14 points, but a technical foul in the fourth quarter hurt the team. Rookie K.J.

He appeared fine on the court, however, and his performance spearheaded seventh-ranked Virginias 74-57 win over VCU. Anderson, who sprained his left ankle in Wednesdays win over No. 21 Maryland, missed the two days of practice leading up to the game, then scored 21 points with eight rebounds to lead the Cavs. Anthony Gill supplied 18 points and Malcolm Brogdon added 15 for Virginia (9-0), which has won 11 of its 13 all-time meetings with the Rams. Treveon Graham did all he could late for VCU (5-3), but his team-high 17 points was not enough to slow down Anderson and company. Melvin Johnson was the only other Ram in double figures with 15 points. Our fans were great,said VCU head coach Shaka Smart. It was a great atmosphere. This is the type of college basketball game that guys want to play in. Graham gave VCUs sputtering offense a jolt with three straight 3-pointers to help trim its deficit to 59-55 with 6:58 remaining. London Perrantes quelled Grahams little surge with a tough driving layup before Evan Nolte knocked down his first basket of the day, a deep three, as part of 15 straight for the visitors. Andersonn also hit a 3-pointer during the run and Brogdon capped it with a trey from the top of the key as the Cavs won it going away.ddddddddddddJordan Burgess two free throws ended a drought of 5:51 for the Rams to account for the final margin. Virginia did a nice job in the first half in breaking VCUs press. Because of that, coupled with stingy defense of its own, it built a 10-point lead at the break. Johnson cut the Rams deficit to 25-23 with over seven minutes remaining in the half, but the Cavs defense proved to be too much for the hosts to close the frame. Anderson followed Johnsons basket with a layup that jump-started a 13-5 run over the final 6:44. Virginia shot 64 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes and limited VCU to 35 percent shooting, taking a 38-28 lead at the break.
