MIAMI, April 12,2009(AP) As the final moments ticked away in the greatest scoring show of his career, Dwyane Wade was summoned to the New York Knicks’ bench for a quick word. “It’s kind of ridiculous,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni told him, “that you’re this good.” Get ready, Atlanta: Wade looks primed for the playoffs. Wade scored 55 points, one shy of the franchise record, and the Miami Heat wrapped up the No. 5 spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs by beating the Knicks 122-105 on Sunday night. The Heat will visit fourth-seeded Atlanta when the opening playoff round starts this weekend. “I came in early and I was very focused,” Wade said. “My teammates thought something was wrong with me because I wasn’t talking.” Nothing was wrong. Not even close. Wade shot 19-for-30 from the field, set a career high with six 3-pointers, and nearly topped Glen Rice’s record of 56 points before leaving with 1:06 remaining. Some in the crowd – even at least one member of the Heat coaching staff – wanted Wade to get one more chance at the record, but Heat coach Erik Spoelstra chose not to take the risk. “He’s broken every other record,” Spoelstra said. “Let’s leave one of them to Glen Rice.” Michael Beasley finished with 28 points and 16 rebounds for the Heat, who also got 15 points from Mario Chalmers. Al Harrington and Wilson Chandler each scored 21 points for New York. Quentin Richardson finished with 14 and David Lee had an 11-point, 11-rebound night for the Knicks. Wade scored …

NEW YORK(AP) The losing streak felt like “two or three months” to Dirk Nowitzki, so the Dallas Mavericks didn’t mind having to go a few extra minutes to end it. Especially because they seemed headed for another loss for nearly all of regulation. Nowitzki scored seven of his season-high 39 points in overtime and grabbed 15 rebounds, and the Mavericks snapped a five-game skid with a 124-114 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday. Josh Howard added season highs of 31 points and 14 rebounds. He had a pair of baskets in the extra session for the Mavericks (3-7), who were off to their worst start in a decade. They were down 15 in the first half and trailed for almost all the first 48 minutes, then tied it with a furious rally and didn’t allow a field goal in overtime. “We just told ourselves stay with it and get some big stops and offensively keep attacking,” Nowitzki said. “We had to get off this losing streak, so whatever I had to do, the team told me to keep shooting and play aggressively.” Nowitzki made a pair of free throws to open overtime, giving Dallas its first lead since it was 6-4. He followed with a jumper, and after a free throw by Brandon Bass, Nowitzki buried a 3-pointer, pumping his fists in the air after giving the Mavericks a 120-112 lead. Howard followed with his two baskets, part of Dallas’ closing 19-2 run over the final 7:26. The Knicks were 0-for-14 after Quentin Richardson’s basket with 2:28 remaining in regulation that made it 112-105. “We could …
