The Miami Heat finally came to Madison Square Garden in New York City, a sea of orange surrounding them in what looked like a playoff game.

Maybe that’s all it took to bring out their best on the road.

LeBron James had 29 points and 10 rebounds, Dwyane Wade added 28 points and nine boards, and the Heat overcame Carmelo Anthony’s 42 points to beat the Knicks, 93-85, Sunday to clinch the Southeast Division title.

The Heat’s lone regular-season game in New York came with the compressed regular season coming to a close - and with a chance they’ll be back again soon.

“This is obviously a lot of our favorite places to play, but I think it came at a good time for us,’’ Wade said. “We were struggling, as in to play a complete game on the road, and what better place to come in and focus then here, where this team has been playing well and can embarrass you if you don’t play your game. So understanding that this could obviously be a first-round matchup as well, I thought today we came in, we didn’t play amazing, but played good enough to win the game. We did a lot of good things, so it was a good time for it.’’

Chris Bosh finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds for the Heat, who pulled away in the fourth quarter in a possible playoff preview. Miami is second in the Eastern Conference and the Knicks came into the game tied for seventh, although they fell back behind Philadelphia after the loss.

Lakers 112, Mavericks 108 - Andrew Bynum had 23 points and 16 rebounds, Pau Gasol made back-to-back 3-pointers in overtime, and host Los Angeles won its fourth straight without Kobe Bryant.

Ramon Sessions scored 22 points, and Gasol had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who have gone 4-1 while Bryant rests his bruised shin.
