MIAMI — LeBron James scored 32 points, Chris Bosh added 22 points and 14 rebounds, and the Miami Heat wasted another huge lead before hanging on to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 95-87 on Friday night.

Fighting off the flu, Dwyane Wade scored 11 for the Heat, who led by as many as 21 in the second quarter but found themselves down 82-80 after Stephen Jackson's 3-pointer with 4:56 remaining.

James hit a short jumper from the lane to put Miami up again, and Bosh made four straight free throws to give the Heat a 90-85 edge with 1:07 left. Udonis Haslem drew a charge on the next possession, fouling Gerald Wallace out of the game on the play.

Jackson finished with 30 points for Charlotte.
