Chris Bosh scored 24 points in an expanded offensive role and Dwyane Wade shook off poor shooting with the defensive play of the game as the Miami Heat snapped a five-game losing streak with a 94-88 victory over the surging Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.

LeBron James added 19 points, including a go-ahead fastbreak dunk with 1:20 left after Wade stripped Kobe Bryant and fed a streaking James for a 90-88 lead.

Los Angeles had its chances to tie or take the lead in the last minute, but Ron Artest missed a jumper, Bryant shot an airball from the left corner and Artest missed an easy putback.

Wade made the Lakers pay with a driving layup with 46 seconds left for a four-point edge.

Bosh, who complained after Miami’s loss to Portland on Tuesday because he wasn’t getting the ball enough, shot 10 of 17 and added nine rebounds. Wade shot just 9 of 23 for 20 points.

Bryant scored 24 points as the Lakers had their eight-game winning streak snapped.
