Jones scored 14 of his 17 points to fuel a third quarter that turned a close game into a blowout, James led Miami with 21 points and the Heat rolled past the Magic 120-92 on Wednesday night for their fifth straight victory. Chris Bosh added 18 points for the Heat, who had all five starters sit out the fourth quarter for the second straight night. Dwyane Wade sat out his second straight full game to give his knees more rest. "My teammates rely on me," Jones said. "They know what Im capable of doing." So does Orlando. Jones -- who often isnt even in the Heat rotation -- started in Wades place and went 4 for 5 from beyond the arc in the third quarter alone, including back-to-back 3s that helped blow the game open. After connecting to make it 68-57, Jones took a pass from James, watched Orlando guard Jameer Nelson sail past after falling victim to a head fake, then coolly hit another 3 to extend Miamis lead to 14. "Thats what happens when you double," James shouted to any Magic player who might be listening. The Heat didnt lose control again. Michael Beasley scored 14 points and Chris Andersen added 10 for the Heat, who opened the game on a 16-0 run, lost the lead briefly in the second quarter, then outscored the Magic 66-43 after halftime. Arron Afflalo scored 20 of his 30 points in the first half for Orlando, and made 7 of 9 shots from 3-point range. Victor Oladipo scored 20 points, though had eight turnovers, giving him 17 in his past two games. The teams meet again Saturday in Miami. "Weve got to give them credit for hitting shots," Afflalo said. "At the end of the day, LeBron does command some attention at times. Maybe next game well have a little more individual pride just to see how well we can do defensively." Nelson scored 17 for the Magic. "LeBron came down and imposed his will on the game," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said. The win improved Heat coach Erik Spoelstras career record to 269-137, inching him past the legendary Red Auerbach for fifth on the NBAs all-time winning percentage list for coaches. Spoelstras winning percentage is now .663; Auerbachs was .662. Only Phil Jackson, Billy Cunningham, Gregg Popovich and K.C. Jones have better percentages. "We have a lot of professionals in that locker room," Spoelstra said. "But JJ probably could write the textbook on professionalism, keeping yourself ready, embracing a role and playing that role arguably as well as anybody in this league." James reached double figures for the 507th straight game, one shy of matching Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the fifth-longest streak in NBA history. "Im gifted," James said, "and I dont take it for granted." The Heat, who struggled with starts of games at the beginning of the season, came out flying. Miami made its first seven shots, Orlando missed its first eight, and the end result was a 16-0 Heat lead a mere 4:02 after tipoff. It was the first time all season that the Heat opened with more than two unanswered points to begin a game. And within a few minutes, the margin was all gone. Afflalo got the Magic on the board with a pair of free throws, the first points in what became a 14-point outburst in a span of 6 1/2 minutes for Orlandos leading scorer. When Maurice Harkless hit a free throw with 7:55 left in the half, Orlando had its first lead at 32-31. It became Orlandos only lead, lasting all of 48 seconds. Miami rebuilt a 10-point edge twice over the remainder of the half, before taking a 54-49 lead into halftime. From there, it was all Miami. There was one 12-minute stretch where Orlando outscored Miami 32-15. Take that away, and the Heat outscored the Magic 105-60. Afterward, there was a surprise awaiting the Heat -- an early Thanksgiving dinner in the locker room, gumbo and fried chicken and a table filled with desserts, all cooked by Ray Allens mother. "Thats a good ball team and they were really good tonight," Vaughn said. "They got some off turnovers in transition, and then you get LeBron being effective in the post and having to react to him. Hes a willing and a really good passer and they have guys who can shoot the basketball. He found em and they made shots." NOTES: Heat F Rashard Lewis appeared in his 1,000th game, and James made his 5,000th free throw. ... Darrelle Revis of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- a Magic season-ticket-holder -- was courtside, along with former NBA star Grant Hill. ... Magic F Glen Davis, who has not played this season because of a broken foot, has resumed practicing but theres no timetable for a return to games. ... No Heat player logged 30 minutes. Custom Seattle Seahawks Jerseys .I dont think it comes to mind in this business, in this game, the Philadelphia Flyers forward said. You dont try to lose games. Dontae Johnson Seahawks Jersey . - The fiancee of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is set to ask a judge to throw out allegations that she lied to a grand jury.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has been knocked around all season, getting sacked 46 times in 12 games.Hes probably fortunate he made it this far without a significant injury.Now, though, Bortles has a sprained right foot and is questionable to play Thursday night against Tennessee. Bortles was still wearing a walking boot Monday, a day after he was sacked eight times in a 20-12 loss at Baltimore.Bortles expects to play against the Titans (2-12), saying a couple more days and hopefully it will be fine.It feels OK, he said. Been in all morning doing rehab, doing all kinds of stuff, trying to get back and ready as quick as possible.But the Jaguars (2-12) said the rookies availability will depend on how much better he feels over the next couple of days.Lets see where hes at and how quickly he recovers, Bradley said. I think its how he progresses here.If Bortles cant go, Chad Henne would start. Henne started the first two games before giving way to Bortles, the third overall pick in Mays NFL draft.They havent told me anything, Henne said. I expect Blake to play, but Ive still got to be ready.Bortles has completed 61 per cent of his passes for 2,676 yards, with 10 touchdowns and an NFL-high 17 interceptions. He has been sacked 46 times. The seventh one Sunday, a 10-yard loss on a third-down play early in the fourth quarter, left him with a mid-foot sprain.The Jaguars have given up 62 sacks in 14 games, one shy of the franchise record set in 2001. They have allowed at least four sacks in five consecutive games, including 19 over the last three weeks.Theres no one thing causing all the breakdowns. The offensive linne, which is starting two rookies and a second-year player, has been at fault regularly. Rasheem Green Jersey. But running backs and tight ends have failed to pick up blitzes, and Bortles has held the ball too long at times, too.A lot of them are on me, Bortles said. Some are on the offensive line. Its on the whole offence. Its football, so you better be used to getting hit.Bradley indicated Monday that Bortles was causing a lot of the offences self-inflicted issues, saying the biggest thing he needs to address in the off-season is speeding up his decision-making process.Even Henne, who was sacked 13 times in the first two games, said Bortles needs to have more pocket awareness.In Blakes mindset, hes a playmaker, Henne said. He thinks he can make a lot of plays and get out of a lot of things. The NFL is different. Youve got some studs up there. The defensive line, they get paid, too. Its not always easy, but if you can get a chance to avoid a 10-yard loss or a turnover and be able to throw the ball away, then thats the smart thing to do.With Bortles struggling, so has Jacksonvilles offence. The unit has two touchdowns in the last four games. Bortles numbers are down the last month, and he doesnt have any completions over 35 yards in the last four games.In college, you can run around and do more stuff, but in the NFL guys are a lot faster and stronger, Bortles said. So its a little more difficult. You want to be able to get rid of the ball and live another down, not lose 5, 10 yards on third down and create longer field-goal situation. Those are definitely things Im working on.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Jerseys 2019 Wholesale NFL Autographed Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Discount NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2020 ' ' '
