Heat climb streak chart

- Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Whether this winning streak for the Miami Heat ends with the NBA record or not, Chris Bosh is certain of one thing.

He won’t look back with any regrets.

“You have to enjoy it,” Bosh said Friday after the Heat beat Milwaukee for their 21st straight win. “We don’t want to be in a position where we’re not and then we look back and say, ‘I wish we would have done this. I wish we would have done that.’ We’re having a blast together, which is most important.”

LeBron James and Bosh each scored 28 points, and Miami defeated the Bucks 107-94.

Only three other teams have won 20 in a row in one season. The Heat trail only the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers (33) and the 2007-08 Houston Rockets (22) after moving ahead of the 1970-71 Bucks.

They return today to Toronto, where this streak started Feb. 3.

It’s been nothing but good times for the Heat ever since, although there was a scary moment for them in this game.

That was when Dwyane Wade walked to the locker room with what the team said was a neck strain after crashing to the court. He returned to finish with 20 points.

Etc.: Celtics forward Kevin Garnett missed Saturday night’s game against Charlotte with a strained left thigh muscle.
