DENG FITTING IN NICELY Luol Deng is still learning how he fits as Miamis new No. 3 with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. The Dallas Mavericks might say hes coming along just fine. Deng scored a season-high 30 points, Bosh and Wade added 20 each and the Heat stayed perfect against Dallas since the 2011 NBA Finals with a 105-96 victory on Sunday night. The Heat have won seven straight regular-season games against Dallas since the Mavericks took three in a row in the finals to capture their first championship. Miami was without LeBron James in this rematch, while the Mavericks faced the Heat for the first time since the return of two important pieces from their title team, Tyson Chandler and J.J. Barea. But Deng was the key offseason acquisition that mattered most, going 13 of 19 from the field with five rebounds and four assists as the ball-moving Heat shot 55 percent to 42 percent for Dallas. We still have a lot to figure out, Deng said. Their game plan today, they doubled Bosh and D-Wade, and we did a good job of moving the ball and had a lot of open jumpers.
