The Miami Heat have been able to have a fast start to the 13-14 season despite significant reductions in the minutes to LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade.

James is averaging a career-low 35.2 minutes, down from 37.9 last season and 39.6 in his career.

Bosh is averaging 28.5 minutes per game and Wade has been able to sit out several games.

“That’s extremely important,” Bosh said. “Our second group has done a magnificent job this year and made our jobs a little easier. It’s making it easier on us not having to play a lot, especially early.”
