19 points. Chalmers and Battier both contributed to the win with 11 points each

Los Angeles Lakers. It is undeniable that the
Heats are on their way to making history, but will they be able to keep this
run going? If they do tie the all-time record
held by the 71-72 Laker of 33 games in a row won during the regular season, will
they be able to keep the streak going?
Will the Charlotte Bobcats be able to bring the streak to a close
tonight?
