| February 15, 2012 8:15 PM

LeBron James scored 23 points and nearly produced his first triple double in 11 months and Dwyane Wade had 16 points Tuesday night, leading the Miami Heat to a 105-90 rout of the Indiana Pacers at Indianapolis to become the first team in 33 years to win three straight on the road in three days.

Miami is also the first club in 42 years to win each of the three by double digits. Phoenix was the last to win three in a row on the road in consecutive days, from Dec. 21-23, 1979. Milwaukee was the last team to win all three by at least 10 from Nov. 20-22, 1970.

Knicks 90, Raptors 87: Jeremy Lin made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with less than a second to play to cap his finishing flurry of six straight points, and New York rallied at Toronto, extending its winning streak to six games.

Spurs 99, Pistons 95: At Auburn Hills, Mich., Tim Duncan had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and San Antonio beat Detroit for its eighth consecutive victory.

Thunder 111, Jazz 85: James Harden scored 22 points, Kevin Durant added 21 and Oklahoma City beat visiting Utah.

Grizzlies 93, Rockets 83: Mike Conley scored 21 points to lead Memphis past visiting Houston.

Bulls 121, Kings 115: Luol Deng came through with 23 points and a career-high 11 assists, and host Chicago escaped with a victory over Sacramento after watching a 19-point, fourth-quarter lead dwindle to two.

Nuggets 109, Suns 92: Arron Afflalo scored 20 points, Ty Lawson had 17 and Denver beat visiting Phoenix.

Wizards 124, Trail Blazers 109: Nick Young scored a season-high 35 points, leading Washington at Portland.

Lakers 86, Hawks 78: Pau Gasol scored seven of his 20 points in the final 5:20 and grabbed 13 rebounds, leading host Los Angeles past Atlanta.
