Wade scores 33 as Heat level with Hawks

ATLANTA, Georgia: Dwyane Wade, NBA's leading scorer during the regular season, was a mere onlooker in the opener of the Miami Heat's playoff series against Atlanta Hawks as they were crushed 90-64.

But when it came to Game 2, he was simply a dominator.

With 13 straight points to close the first half and an unlikely 3-pointer off the backboard in the waning minutes, Wade showed it's hard to keep him down two games in a row. He scored 33 points in all, leading the Heat to a 108-93 victory against the Hawks that evened their playoff series at one game apiece on Wednesday night.
