In their first game since falling in double overtime Sunday at Boston, the Heat made sure this would be a much easier night. James, Wade and Bosh were all on the bench long before the end, and Miami shot 52 percent from the field and made 11 of 19 3-pointers.

Brook Lopez scored 21 points for the Nets, who had their eight-game home winning streak snapped.

Playing for the first time since visiting the White House on Monday, the Heat looked plenty capable of getting invited back next year. Just a 10-10 team on the road when they arrived in Brooklyn, the Heat were nearly flawless offensively and defensively in the third quarter and outscored the Nets, 36-14.

NOTES

TRADE: Rudy Gay is on his way to Toronto, a person with knowledge of the situation said, as the Grizzlies agreed to part with the leading scorer on a team that has aspirations of making a run in the powerful Western Conference.

The Raptors gave up point guard Jose Calderon and forward Ed Davis in the deal, and another person said the Grizzlies were in discussion with Detroit to swap Calderon for Austin Daye and Tayshaun Prince.

MAGIC: Forward Glen Davis broke his left foot against New York in the first half.

It wasn’t clear how he was injured.
