Wade's 55 Againt Knicks A New Career High

I was worried about what I was gonna be doing on this Sunday seeing I didn't have to work for the first time since Easter of last year, but once again sports got me through the day. First Tiger and Phil nearly came from behind and took the green jacket at the Masters (shouts to Angel Cabrera, the winner after a 3-way playoff), then LeBron and the Cavs destroyed the Celts, and Dwyane Wade ripped the Knicks for 55 (side note: the Knicks have to be the running for "Most 50 point games given up in a season") while clinching the 5th spot in the playoffs for the Heat. That's a career high for Wade and was just 1 shy of the Heat's franchise record of 56 held by Glenn Rice since 1995.

In addition to the career high in points, he also set a career high in 3's made with 6 while bringing down 9 rebounds and dishing out 4 assists. Yeah it was against the Knicks, but still quite amazing and now at least the Heat can rest until the playoffs start Saturday (they're gonna need it with all the injuries they have right now).

I also wanna show some love to Heat rookie Michael Beasley who added 28 points and 16 boards in his 2nd consecutive start (he had 23 and 13 in his first). Kinda makes you wonder why he's been coming off the bench for majority of the season.
