Via ESPN:
Miami (55-14) continues to close in on the Los Angeles Lakers' record of 33 wins in a row set in 1971-72, but the streak was nearly snapped by Orlando on March 6.
LeBron James James came through with a go-ahead layup with 3.2 seconds left before Arron Afflalo missed a 40-footer at the buzzer, as the Heat held on to win 97-96 at home.
They also needed some late help from James in their last visit to Orlando, as the superstar put Miami ahead for good by making two free throws in the final seconds of a 112-110 overtime win Dec. 31.
James has totaled 62 points in those two meetings, but those heroics may not be needed since the Magic are expected to be without Afflalo and Nikola Vucevic, who average 15.5 and 12.4 points, respectively.
Afflalo was lost for the season to a strained right hamstring in Friday's 97-89 loss to Oklahoma City, while Vucevic has missed two games with a concussion.
Miami may be looking to capitalize on the short-handed Magic after needing to overcome double-digit deficits in each of the past four games.
