Miami ? Shaquille O’Neal was rusty, Kobe Bryant fought foul trouble and the Miami Heat played like anything but a last-place team.

O’Neal was only ordinary in his third game back from toe surgery, scoring 15 points as Miami won for only the third time this season, beating the Los Angeles Lakers 97-85 Tuesday night. The Lakers fell to 2-1 since O’Neal’s return.

“To beat anybody right now is big for us,” said Eddie Jones, who led the Heat with 18 points.

Reserves Mike James and LaPhonso Ellis sparked the Heat (3-10), who came into the game tied for last place in the Atlantic Division. James scored 14 points and Ellis 13, and both sank key 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.
