Fernandez, Blazers beat Heat in Oden's returnBasketball Betting Lines11/12/2008 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rudy Fernandez logged 14 of his team-high 25 points in the fourth quarter, as the Portland Trail Blazers welcomed back Greg Oden with a resounding 104-96 victory at Miami. Oden made his return after missing six games with a right foot sprain sustained in the season-opener. The seven-footer was a non-factor offensively in 16 minutes of play, finishing with three points, two rebounds and a pair of blocks while sitting the bench for most of the fourth quarter. Brandon Roy contributed 22 points, and LaMarcus Aldridge scored 14 and added seven rebounds for Portland, which has won four straight. Dwyane Wade deposited 36 points, eight assists and six rebounds for Miami, which had won its first three home games of the year. Michael Beasley scored 14 points but failed to score in the final 20 minutes of the Heat's second loss in three contests. With the score tied, 79-79, at the nine-minute mark of the fourth, the Blazers buckled down defensively and started hitting their outside shots. A Fernandez three-pointer and a three-point play by Aldridge highlighted an 11-2 run to put Portland ahead for good. Wade nearly brought the Heat back single-handedly, and his emphatic two-hand dunk with 40 seconds left made it a 98-94 game. But on the ensuing Blazers possession, Roy drove the lane and kicked it out to a wide open Steve Blake, who banged home a three-point dagger from the corner to seal the game with 17.1 seconds remaining. Portland came out and moved the ball effectively en route to taking a 27-19 lead at the end of one period. But Wade and Beasley score 19 of the Heat's 28 second-quarter points to carry Miami back to a 50-47 deficit at the break. Miami got the better end of a back-and-forth third quarter and held a slim 75-73 edge going into the pivotal fourth. Game Notes Wade has scored 30-plus points in four straight games...Miami's Udonis Haslem led all players with 11 rebounds...Heat forward Shawn Marion (groin) and guards Marcus Banks (groin) and Shaun Livingston (knee) did not play in the loss... Oden's only field goal -- and first of his career -- came on a uncontested dunk with less than a minute to play in the first quarter...Portland has won three straight against Miami.
