Chris Bosh scored 29 points and LeBron James added 20 to spark the Miami Heat to a 14th consecutive NBA home triumph, a 99-95 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.

Dwyane Wade added 19 points and Udonis Haslem came off the bench to contribute 15 points and a team-high nine rebounds for Miami.

The Heat improved to 34-11, stretching their Southeast division lead over Orlando to six games and remaining second overall in the Eastern Conference.

Miami went 13-of-16 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter, but trailed 90-80 before ending the game on a 19-5 run to secure the victory.
