MIAMI – Chris Bosh scored 20 of his 24 points in the first half, and the Miami Heat improved to 5-0 for the first time in franchise history by rolling past the Charlotte Bobcats, 129-90, on Sunday.

The 129 points is the most scored by any NBA team so far this season and the 39-point victory margin matched the third-largest in Heat history. Dwyane Wade scored 22 points, and LeBron James, Norris Cole and Mario Chalmers all scored 16 for the Heat, who never trailed.

DJ White scored 21 points, and Kemba Walker had 17 for Charlotte, which lost its seventh straight regular-season meeting against Miami.

The Heat needed a game-winner from Wade with 2.9 seconds left to win at Charlotte on Wednesday night.

No drama required this time. In fact, it took a falling-down 3-pointer from Walker – while getting fouled – with 3:26 left to get Charlotte back within 40 points.

White made all eight of his shots in the first half for the Bobcats. The rest of Charlotte’s starters in the first 24 minutes shot a staggering 3-for-22, including an 0-for-7 from D.J. Augustin and 0-for-6 from Corey Maggette.

Augustin finished 1 for 11, the worst shooting night of his career when trying at least 10 shots. Combined, Charlotte’s starters grabbed 14 rebounds, which was four more than what Bosh collected by himself.
