(SportsNetwork.com) - The Miami Heat stopped a four-game losing streak last time out and thats the same length slide their opponents Wednesday night, the Denver Nuggets, will try to halt when the two teams meet at the Pepsi Center. The Heat marched into Phoenix on Tuesday night and left with a 103-97 victory. That ended a four-game slide, a three-game road losing streak and got the Heat a win on this five-game trek, which ends Friday against the Utah Jazz. Chris Boshs personal seven-point run late in regulation carried the Heat to victory. Miami, which had lost four in a row all by double digits, trailed 91-90 after Marcus Morris drained a 3-pointer with 3:17 left in the fourth quarter. Bosh, though, hit a 14-footer, scored in the lane and drained a dagger 3-pointer on consecutive possessions to give the Heat the lead for good. I wanted to win really bad tonight, said Bosh. We played together and things worked out great. After being limited to 12 points in Sundays loss to Memphis, Bosh poured in 34 on 14-of-21 shooting. Luol Deng chipped in with 23 points and Dwyane Wade netted 16 for Miami, which shot 53.8 percent from the floor and forced 23 turnovers. The Nuggets have dropped four in a row, including three straight on the road. They had the Toronto Raptors on the ropes Monday night, but fell in overtime, 112-107. Denver led in the fourth quarter after it overcame a 16-point deficit. The 35-point first quarter set us back, Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw said. Thats been our problem, not only on this trip, but this entire season. We dig a hole for ourselves. Arron Afflalo and Ty Lawson combined to score 47 points for the Nuggets. Lawson had 12 assists to go with his 22 points. Wilson Chandler scored 18 in the loss and Timofey Mozgov had 15 points and 12 rebounds. Denver had a chance to win in regulation but turned the ball over on a shot- clock violation, giving Toronto possession with 4.3 seconds left, but Lowry missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Chandler knocked down a 3 for Denver to start overtime, but the Nuggets didnt score again until Alonzo Gees bucket in the final seconds. The Nuggets visit the Houston Rockets on Saturday, then play four straight at home. The Nuggets ended a three-game series losing streak with a win in March, but the Heat have won two in a row in Denver. Prior to that mini streak, the Nuggets were 10-0 as the host against Miami.

SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco Giants outfielder Andres Torres was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday because of a strained left Achilles tendon and might not return this season. Torres said the injury has lingered since the start of 2011 after he helped the Giants win a World Series championship the previous fall. He is scheduled to get a second opinion and be examined by specialist Dr. Robert Anderson next week in North Carolina and hopes to avoid surgery -- though an MRI exam showed bone spurs in the area. "I need to be 100 per cent," Torres said. "After we won the World Series and they gave us the rings (April 9, 2011), I hurt this foot and Ive never been the same. Playing like this is not going to be good for me and its not going to be good for the organization. I respect them a lot. This is something I have to work to get better." Rehabilitation hasnt worked for the speedy Torres, who said the left foot bothers him most when hitting from the left side and is limiting him to running at about 80 per cent. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Torres called about 1:30 p.m. Thursday to tell him he couldnt play in the opener of a four-game series against the NL Central-leading Pittsburgh Pirates. "Its bothering him to the point he needs a break," Bochy said. "I cant say its over yet until he gets evaluated. I think that will determine what ends up happening with Andres. Is there a possibility of surgerry? Sure.dddddddddddd Thats why hes getting checked out." Bochy said he only learned of Torres condition a few days ago but the outfielder hadnt spoken of it, saying "its one of those injuries thats flared up again on him." The 35-year-old Torres, who signed a $2 million, one-year contract last winter to return to the Giants after spending 2012 with the New York Mets, is batting .250 with two home runs and 21 RBIS with just four stolen bases in 103 games this season. He said when hitting from the left side his injured front foot lifts and he loses his power and strength. "I want to make sure this is right and I can drive the ball from both sides," he said. Bochy didnt rule out Torres season ending, especially with the reigning World Series champions out of the playoff race and planning to try out many young players over the final month. Bochy said Torres role, if he is able to play again this year, would be primarily as a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner or late defensive replacement. "Theres no rush to get Andres back," Bochy said. "We want him to get healthy. Hes got his future to think of." In other moves, lefty Mike Kickham was optioned to Triple-A Fresno, and infielder Nick Noonan and outfielder Francisco Peguero were recalled from Fresno to provide some depth. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval returned to the lineup after missing the final two games against Boston with a sore back.
