Hassan Whiteside was the spark the Heat needed to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 114-90 Sunday at Staples Center.
Whiteside was the first Miami Heat player to put up at least 20 points and 15 rebounds off the bench since Alonzo Mourning did it in 2001 and the first player to reach 16 rebounds in a game in the last two seasons. He finished with 23 points, 16 rebounds and two blocks.
Chris Bosh paced the team in scoring, with 34 points on 13-of-20 shots in 39 minutes. Dwyane Wade had a double-double with 17 points and 10 assists.
The Heat will hang in Los Angeles through Tuesday, when they take on the Los Angeles Lakers and try to win consecutive games for the first time since November 23.
