Pelle Larsson continues to help the Miami Heat to victories. Last night, the Swedish basketball star scored 16 points as Sacramento was defeated 130–117. Pelle continues to make strides, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra told the Miami Herald.

In addition to 16 points, Larsson accounted for nine assists, the most of anyone in Miami, and six rebounds in last night's away game against the Sacramento Kings.

The victory was Miami's third in the last five games and Larsson once again started. In total, the 24-year-old Swede played just over 26 minutes on the court.

"Pelle continues to make strides. He's in control of the game a lot more now," said Miami coach Erik Spoelstra after the game.

Pelle Larsson also got into several heated duels with Sacramento's DeMar DeRozan, who committed at least two serious fouls that made the Swede react.

The second time, at the end of the game, there was a scuffle between the two after DeRozan put an outstretched arm in front of Larsson's face while the Swede was in midair on a shot attempt.

"I didn't say anything. I wasn't the one who initiated anything. All I did was repeat what he said to me," Larsson says of the exchange.

Miami's next game is away against Portland on Friday night.
