How Andrew got his groove back

Andrew Bynum knew what was coming. The undersized Heat were going to front him in the post, try and draw fouls on him, scratch, claw, and whatever else it would take to throw him off his rhythm.

It certainly worked the last time the teams played in Miami, as the Heat held Bynum to four points on 2-for-4 shooting in 27 minutes of action.

That game started a miserable nine-game streak in which Bynum averaged just 8.2 points a game and seemed to get into early foul trouble so often, he was hearing whistles in his sleep.

For the next two weeks, he searched game-tapes for answers and tried anything and everything he could to snap out of it.

Turns out, all Bynum had to do was go back to basics. He said after Sunday's loss that he'd been studying game tapes from last season and discovered a few major changes he could make.

``I just saw how much more quickly I was getting down the court and how much lower I was catching the ball (last year),'' Bynum said.

Since those revelations, he's scored 18 points, 20 points and a season-high 24 points in Sunday's win over the Heat.
