James, Wade watch Heat down Hawks in 3OT

Wearing street clothes, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade cheered their Miami Heat teammates from the bench.

For almost four hours.

Chris Bosh scored 33, including a game-tying three-pointer at the end of regulation, and Miami beat the Atlanta Hawks 116-109 in triple-overtime Thursday night with two of their top three stars sidelined by injuries.

The Heat, who lost their first game of the season to Atlanta on Monday with all three stars in the lineup, held the Hawks scoreless in the third overtime to avoid another setback.

Bosh had 14 rebounds, one of four players with a double-double in a game that started at 8 p.m. (et) and ended just shy of midnight. Mario Chalmers scored 22 of his 29 points from the fourth quarter on and the Heat improved to 7-1.

The Hawks, led by Joe Johnson's 20 points, got back into the game with a 16-1 run to end the third quarter. But Johnson was blocked by Shane Battier on a driving layup at the end of the second overtime, and they went 0-for-7 in the third OT.
