First Star
Dwyane Wade (MIA) 24.4
Wade led Miami with a team-high 28 points on 11-for-22 shooting, hitting six of his seven foul shots while he was at it. On a quick side note, Wade's 50% shooting percentage was tied for the second lowest on the Heat (Amar'e Stoudemire hit one-of-three). Wade played 32:19, and makes his 45th appearance on the Five Stars, and his 15th time with top honors. He also pitched in with eight assists, three rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot, finishing with a team-best plus-15 rating.
Second Star
Al Jefferson (CHA) 21.2
Jefferson scored 25 points by hitting 12-of-17 shots from the floor, and made one-of-two from the stripe. He added seven rebounds, a steal and an assist, finishing with a minus-14 rating in 27:06 off the bench.
Third Star
Hassan Whiteside (MIA) 20.1
Whiteside, who now leads the team with 51 appearances in the Five Stars for the 2015-16 season, played 30:07 and hit all eight of his shots from the field to finish with 17 points. He made his only foul shot, and earned the only double-double of the game with 13 rebounds, along with two blocks, a steal, an assist, and a plus-8 rating. He's shooting just under 90% thus far this postseason.
Fourth Star
Kemba Walker (CHA) 17.5
Walker scored a game-high 29 points for the Hornets in 41:32, hitting 12-of-29 shots, including a sad one-from-six showing from three-point range. He made all four of his free throw tries, with five rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot, with a minus-12 rating.
Fifth Star
Goran Dragic (MIA) 14.5
Dragic, in 27:40 at starting point guard for the Heat, scored 18 points on six-of-12 shooting. He was perfect in three attempts from beyond the arc, and sunk three-of-four from the foul line. He earned a plus-1 rating, dished out four helpers, grabbed two boards, and blocked a shot.
