Bernard James scored a career-high 12 points against the Heat on Thursday, adding nine rebounds, three steals and one block.
His nine boards matched his career high and he set a new high with his 22 minutes. He was given a big opportunity with Elton Brand and Brandan Wright out of the lineup, and he came through for Dallas. The Mavericks should get healthy sooner enough and owners can leave Sarge on the wire.
