James finished with a team high 24 points, Wade had 22 points and 10 rebounds and Bosh scored 19 points for the Heat, who are a perfect 9-0 at home in the post-season.
After a low-scoring, tightly-contested first half in which the lead changed hands nine times, the Heat's star trio three seized control in the fourth quarter in front of the sold out crowd of 20,003 at the American Airlines Arena.
Game Two will be played on Thursday in Miami.
