Harris scored 41 points - six shy of his career high set earlier this season - in the Nets' 121-97 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. After receiving a standing ovation from Nets fans during his introduction, Jason Kidd's return to the Izod Center for the first time since last season's trade was overshadowed by the player New Jersey (13-12) got in return.

Harris finished 14 of 25 from the field - including 5-for-9 from 3-point range - and had a season-high 13 assists.

"(Devin had a) special night, but he works his tail off every night," Nets coach Lawrence Frank said. "It's good to have reinforcement with all that hard work that you can have special nights like this. But he's had a lot of special nights."

Harris, who is averaging a career-high 24.5 points, recorded his eighth 30-point game this season and second 40-point game, as the Nets snapped a three-game home losing streak and won for the second time in three games overall.

"Obviously there's going to be added emotions whether you want it there or not, obviously with old teams and a big trade, but it was more important for us to get a home win," Harris said.

New Jersey, which improved to 5-8 at home this season, concludes its four-game homestand Monday against Houston.

The Heat (13-12) are also looking to build momentum, after they snapped their three-game losing streak with an 89-87 victory Friday over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Wade scored 35 points after being held below 20 in the prior two games, as Miami withstood a late rally by the Lakers that fell short when Kobe Bryant's shot bounced off the rim.

"About time we got a break," said Wade, who went 13-for-25 from the field.

Although the Heat had another underwhelming offensive showing, scoring fewer than 90 points for the fourth straight game, they forced 21 turnovers while holding the Lakers to their fewest points of the season.

"Just a fantastic effort defensively at the very end," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Miami is two wins shy of its victory total from all of last season, which matched a franchise low. The Heat appear likely to surpass that win total soon, as they face struggling Golden State (7-20) and Chicago (12-14) at home in their next two games.

The Heat won this season's first meeting with the Nets, 99-94 in Miami on Nov. 10, when Wade scored 33 points. Harris was sidelined with a sprained left ankle for New Jersey.
