Heat win 11th straight

Shaq logs season sweep against Kobe

? Shaquille O’Neal wants nothing to do with Kobe Bryant. And Bryant soon may not want anything to do with Shaq’s understudy in Miami.

Dwyane Wade — pumped up by a comment Bryant made as the first half expired — scored eight of his 27 points in the fourth quarter, and O’Neal had a 25-point, 12-rebound game that helped lift the Miami Heat to a 102-89 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.

It was the 11th straight victory and a single-season record 14th straight at home for Miami (51-16), which moved nine games ahead of Detroit in the Eastern Conference standings and within percentage points of San Antonio (49-15) for the league’s best record.

“We just look at this game as another game,” said O’Neal, who enjoyed a season sweep at his former teammate’s expense. “We wanted to stay focused and our guys did a beautiful job of not letting anything enter into the locker room that would break our focus.”

Bryant, according to Wade, told Miami’s second-year guard “Stop crying” as the teams were preparing to leave the court following a first half in which Wade often was agitated over non-calls.

“I don’t want to say what I said,” Wade said. “I told him that I wasn’t talking to him, for one. And for two … I pretty much told him a lot of stuff. I don’t want to get into it.”
