 Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - A first-quarter barrage helped the Miami
 Heat  build a  seemingly comfortable first half lead, which they were clinging
 to by game's end.

 Good thing Ray Allen was there to bail them out.
 
</p>
    <p>
 Allen  scored 11 of  his 15 points in the fourth quarter, including a critical
 3-pointer  with 42.4  seconds left, and the Heat beat the Los Angeles Clippers
 116-112 on Wednesday.

 Miami  led by  as many as 19 in  the first half, but the Clippers whittled the
 gap to 109-107 with 1:04 left after DeAndre Jordan threw down an alley-oop and
 Jordan Crawford hit a step-back jumper.
 
</p>
    <p>
 The Heat, though, responded when Dwyane Wade hit a wide-open Allen in the left
 corner for his triple.

    <p>
 LA never got within less than four the rest of the way.
