MIAMI - Former Marquette star Dwayne Wade scored 30 points, dished out seven assists and had seven rebounds, leading the Miami Heat to an 87-74 win over Milwaukee.

The Bucks have lost two in a row after a 15-2 hot spell. Miami trails Milwaukee by a single game in the race for the fifth playoff spot.

Friday's contest was marred by two injuries. Bucks forward Carlos Delfino was carried from the court on a stretcher after suffering a head injury. Heat star Jermaine O'Neal hyper-extended his knee. Center Andrew Bogut missed the game, clearing the way for several drives to the basket by Wade.

Milwaukee scoring was led by John Salmons' 23 points. Even though the Bucks are in a tight fight with the suddenly surging Heat, they put up little resistance while falling behind by 22 points in the second-half.
