LOS ANGELES, Calif. - With Dwyane Wade in the locker room and Chris Bosh enduring a nightmare of a shooting night, the Miami Heat still found the defensive moxie to finish an unlikely Staples Center sweep.Mario Chalmers scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, and Hassan Whiteside added 15 in Miamis 78-75 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.Bosh scored eight points on 4-of-17 shooting for the Heat, who followed up their surprise victory over the Clippers two days ago with their first back-to-back victories in 24 games since Nov. 23 — a stunning statistic for the four-time defending Eastern Conference champions.When you dont win two games in a row for a while, you appreciate stuff, Bosh said. It was a little ugly at times. My shot wasnt falling. But we stuck with it, no matter what happened. They made some runs, and we answered.With Chalmers opening up his offensive game, Miami held off the Lakers despite losing Wade to a strained left hamstring late in the first half. After the Heats 18-0 run to open the game eventually dwindled to a one-point lead, they hung in with defensive stops on Kobe Bryant and his teammates, capped by Bryants missed 3-pointer with 2 seconds left.We were doing our job defensively, Wade said. We were trying to make it tough on them. They shot jump shots. We contested. They missed a lot early. We capitalized on it. So I cant say we did anything special. We did what we had to do, what we needed to do, and we got out to a great start.Bryant scored 12 points on 3-of-19 shooting in his return to the Lakers lineup after missing three of the last four games to rest. Bryants 3-pointer with 31 seconds to play trimmed Miamis lead to three points, but he couldnt connect on his final shot.The hard part is sitting down for stretches and then trying to get back in, Bryant said. I feel like the Tin Man, you know what I mean? But thats just part of the process, part of the challenge. Its not something Im whining or complaining about. Ill just work through it and get my legs used to playing again.Bryant missed 11 of his first 12 shots, including four 3-pointers, before finally hitting a 3-pointer with 2:44 to play, trimming Miamis lead to 72-68. The Lakers missed 15 of their first 16 3-point attempts overall.Ed Davis and Jordan Hill also scored 12 points apiece for the Lakers, who have lost eight of 11.The Lakers silenced their own crowd in their fifth straight loss to Miami by missing their first 11 shots and two free throws before Bryant finally hit a jumper more than 7 1/2 minutes in.Nick Young went 2 for 11 and Wesley Johnson went 3 for 13 for the Lakers.We dug ourselves a hole, and its just hard to keep skating uphill for an entire game, Lakers coach Byron Scott said.TIP-INSHeat: Former Lakers forward Shawne Williams hit a 3-pointer and grabbed two rebounds in 3 minutes of play. ... Wade also had five assists and five rebounds. ... Chris Andersen had 12 points and eight assists.Lakers: Young has made 30 consecutive free throws. ... Newcomer Tarik Black had another impressive game in a reserve role, getting nine points and nine rebounds. ... Miguel Herrera, the manager of the Mexican national soccer team, attended the game.WADES HEALTHWade finished with four points in 14 minutes. The three-time NBA champion missed seven games in November with a hamstring strain, and his availability is uncertain for the final two games of Miamis West Coast road trip this week. I could have played the game, but I decided to be smart this time and catch it early and not make it any worse, Wade said. Since I caught it early, well take it day by day.ROUGH STARTThe Lakers got off to one of the worst starts imaginable, with all five starters combining on their miserable shooting. Los Angeles missed 18 of its 22 shots in the first quarter, yet trailed only 44-34 at halftime with a second-quarter rally.UP NEXTHeat: At Golden State on Wednesday.Lakers: Host Cleveland on Thursday.

After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. NEW YORK -- NFL owners likely will consider expanding the playoffs by two teams, beginning in 2015, when they hold their spring meetings in Orlando next week, but a vote on the subject is uncertain. A groundswell for raising the number of playoff qualifiers to seven in each conference figures to get plenty of support from the 32 owners. Most notably, Arizonas Bill Bidwill, who saw his Cardinals go 10-6 and not get in, while Green Bay (8-7-1) qualified by winning the NFC North. The current format of four division winners and two wild-card teams has existed since 2002, when Houston joined the league as an expansion team, bringing the membership to 32. "There will be a report on the potential of expanded playoffs," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday. "We dont know if there will be any vote at this meeting." Also on the agenda will be alterations to extra points, changing who oversees video replay reviews, and further clamping down on the use of racial slurs by players during games. A change in the playoff structure would be needed if 14 teams qualify, with the top seed in each conference still getting a first-round bye. The next six teams would play in what is now the wild-card round, with the second seed facing No. 7, the third seed taking on No. 6 and the fourth and fifth seeds playing each other. But the NFLs influential competition committee is not presenting a proposal to the owners. One reason the league is looking at more playoff teams is a stalemate in talks with the players union about expanding the regular season from 16 games. Another is the added revenue stream two more post-season games would provide, with those matches up for bidding among the current network partners -- Fox, NBC, ESPN and CBS, which just grabbed an eight-week Thursday night package -- and potential new broadcasters such as Turner Sports. Scheduling of the extra wild-card games also would be dicey, although Monday night would seem logical for one of them. Of course, adding two more playoff teamss enhances the chances for teams with .dddddddddddd.500 or losing records to get in. Commissioner Roger Goodell has suggested a change to the one-point kick on extra points might be needed because they have become so automatic. New England has proposed moving the line of scrimmage to the 25 for a one-point try, but leaving it at the 2-yard line for a 2-point conversion. "There are a lot of different views in respect to the extra point," said Falcons President Rich McKay, co-chairman of the competition committee. "There were 1,267 tried and 1,262 made (in 2013), and so there is that thought with the extra point maybe we need to add little more skill, and one of the ways to do it might be the way New England proposed." But its a long shot that anything will be done next week, except perhaps experimenting with longer kicks for one week of the preseason. The Patriots also proposed extending the height of the goal posts 5 feet to make it easier to determine whether a kick is good. New England also suggested allowing coaches challenges on everything except scoring plays, which are automatically reviewed. Replay as an officiating tool always is in the news, and owners are expected to discuss having the NFLs director of officiating, Dean Blandino and his staff at the league offices be involved in some review decisions. The league saw several inexplicable replay decisions made by referees last season, although McKay and Rams coach Jeff Fisher, the committees other co-chairman, praised the overall quality of officiating. As for the use of racial slurs and verbal abuse, there already are rules on the books to deal with the issue. But an emphasis on stronger discipline will be discussed by the owners, and McKay noted that taunting fouls went up significantly from 2012 to 2013. "We are going beyond the field of play, we are going to the workplace," Fisher said of trying to eliminate such language. "This is going to be a very significant point of emphasis."
