Dwyane Wade's running three-pointer at the buzzer gave the NBA's leading scorer 48 points and earned the Miami Heat a 130-127 double overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday.
"This is one of those games for the ages," Wade, who also had 12 assists, told reporters after overshadowing a 43-point performance by the Bulls' Ben Gordon.
Wade stole the ball from Chicago's John Salmons and raced down the court before tossing up the three-point shot from just inside the circle.
"When I got the steal what was going through my head was coach said: 'We've got a timeout left,'" said Wade, who had four steals in the game.
"I was about to call it (the timeout) and then I said: 'Nah.'"
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was delighted with Wade.
"It's truly amazing," he told reporters. "He ended up with a defensive play like that, a steal off somebody else's man, and then makes the three at the buzzer."
Meanwhile, Richard Hamilton scored 29 points and delivered a career-best 14 assists to spark the Detroit Pistons to a 98-94 win over the Orlando Magic. Hamilton scored Detroit's final seven points to outscore Orlando 7-4 down the stretch.
