MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade had 32 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, Daequan Cook scored 15 of his 20 points to spark a second-quarter comeback, and the Miami Heat matched last season's win total by beating the injury-depleted Golden State Warriors.
Udonis Haslem scored 16 points and Shawn Marion finished with a Heat season-high 16 rebounds as Miami reached the 15-win mark in 27 games -- 55 fewer than it needed to get there last season as the NBA's worst team.
C.J. Watson scored 18 points for Golden State, which has lost 16 of 19. Kelenna Azubuike scored 16, Brandan Wright added 12 and Anthony Randolph finished with 10 for the Warriors.
Golden State was without Heat nemesis Jamal Crawford, who's averaged 27.9 points in his last nine appearances against Miami, including a 52-point outing two years ago and a 40-point night earlier this month.
Crawford was ruled out shortly before tip-off with a strained left groin, adding to the Warriors' heap of injury problems.
Stephen Jackson (hand), Monta Ellis (ankle) and Corey Maggette (hamstring) also remain sidelined for Golden State (8-22), off to its worst 30-game start since the 1999-2000 team opened 6-24. Full story
Bobcats 80, Wizards 72
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Emeka Okafor had 29 points and 18 rebounds, and the Charlotte Bobcats pulled away in the fourth quarter for an victory over Washington, sending the reeling Wizards to their worst start in franchise history.
Caron Butler's 31 points weren't enough for the woeful Wizards, who dropped to 4-22, the worst record after 26 games in the team's 48-year history.
Shooting just 32 percent and dominated inside, the Wizards faded late in their seventh straight loss and spoiled coach Ed Tapscott's return to Charlotte, where he was the expansion Bobcats' team president for three years.
Gerald Wallace added 16 points for the Bobcats, who won an ugly game befitting the two worst teams in the Eastern Conference. Charlotte overcame 42 percent shooting and 18 turnovers for its 10th win.

DALLAS -- Dirk Nowitzki scored 21 points, Jason Terry added 17, and the Dallas Mavericks stretched their winning streak against the Memphis Grizzlies to 13 games with a victory.
