DENVER (AP) — Hassan Whiteside had 19 points, 17 rebounds and 11 blocked shots, and the injury-depleted Miami Heat rallied to beat the Denver Nuggets 98-95 on Friday night.

Chris Bosh scored 24 points and Tyler Johnson had 15 off the bench for Miami, which was without Dwyane Wade because of injuries to both shoulders.

It was the first game Wade missed this season due to injury. It left the Heat without their starting backcourt, with Goran Dragic sidelined by a strained left calf.
