MIAMI – Alonzo Mourning’s dunk with 1.8 seconds remaining gave Miami its first lead of the game, and the Heat beat the Atlanta Hawks 95-93 on Saturday night for their season-high eighth straight victory.

Shaquille O’Neal had 21 points and eight rebounds before fouling out with 3:45 left for Miami, which overcame a 17-point deficit despite playing without Dwyane Wade.

Wade was sidelined with a sprained wrist and is listed as day to day.

Joe Johnson scored 28 points for the Hawks, who have lost 10 straight games to Miami. Josh Smith added 21 points and eight rebounds.

After Salim Stoudamire missed a jumper with 20 seconds left, Miami called timeout. On the ensuing possession, the Heat worked the ball until Udonis Haslem missed a foul-line jumper.

The ball appeared to be going out of bounds underneath the Heat basket, but Derek Anderson hustled and shuffled the ball to Mourning, who then delivered the game-winning slam.

Stoudamire, with Jason Williams defending closely, missed a jumper as time expired.

The Hawks took a 73-62 lead into the fourth quarter. Johnson scored 14 points in the third. O’Neal scored six points during an 11-1 run that pulled Miami within 86-84 with 4:27 left. Anderson’s 3-pointer finished the run.

Johnson had 12 points and Al Harrington 11 to help Atlanta open a 48-33 halftime lead. The Hawks held Miami to 31-percent shooting, including 1-of-10 from 3-point range, and had a 21-18 rebounding advantage.

The three on-court officials huddled around the video replay screen at the scorer’s table for several minutes before ruling Johnson’s 60-foot heave that banked in failed to beat the halftime buzzer.

Harrington had nine points to help Atlanta build a 27-15 lead after one quarter. Miami hit just 4 of 16 shots and missed all five 3-point tries.

Notes: Anderson, acquired from Houston on Feb. 23, made his first appearance for Miami after not dressing for three games. He scored 14 points in 22 minutes. … Miami has won 18 straight at home against Southeast Division rivals. … Atlanta’s previous three wins all were in overtime, tying an NBA record.
