LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Miami broke the franchise record for points in the first half en route to a 124-105 rout of the Cleveland Cavaliers on a night when the Heat retired the jersey of guard Dwyane Wade.

The Heat led 82-52 at the halftime to produce its best half in history after making 14 of their first 17 shots to start the NBA contest.

At halftime, the Heat honored the 38-year-old Wade whose No. 3 jersey was retired and raised to the rafters at American Airlines Arena.

Thirteen-time all-star Wade helped Miami to three NBA championships and is the organization’s all-time leader in games, points, assists, and steals.

Wade’s speech included a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant.

“Kobe said the most important thing is to try to inspire others so they can be great in whatever they try to do,” Wade said. “I hope I inspired you. Thank you for making me a part of your legacy. Please know you’re a huge part of mine.”
