"This might have been a case of looking ahead. Or merely a case of lacking focus against an opponent with a fuzzy record.

That certainly won't be the case when the Miami Heat next take the court, Thursday night at AmericanAirlines Arena against Jeremy Lin and the New York Knicks.

Tuesday, though, it merely was about getting a victory and getting on to something more significant.

So with Mario Chalmers loading up from beyond the 3-point line, Dwyane Wade doing his typical early damage and Norris Cole providing needed energy off the bench, the Heat pushed past the Sacramento Kings 120-108 Tuesday night at AmericanAirlines Arena."
