LOS ANGELES: Hassan Whiteside delivered his 11th straight double-double as the Miami Heat continued their hot streak with a wire-to-wire 123-105 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday (Saturday in Manila). The Heat like Whiteside’s offence but coach Erik Spoelstra said he was also a force on defense. “It felt like (Whiteside) had seven or eight blocks,” Spoelstra said. Tyler Johnson scored 23 off the bench for Miami who are also 15-1 in their last 16 games at home. Wall had 14 points and played 33 minutes despite suffering a sprained left foot Wednesday’s 112-107 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
