MIAMI (CBS4) - The Miami Heat are packing their bags and getting ready for their first long road trip of the season.

The Heat's four-game swing starts in Milwaukee on Monday night.   LeBron James said the week on the road will be the next step in helping Miami come together as a team. The Heat has won four straight since a team meeting followed a loss in Dallas on Nov. 27.

James says getting to know each other better as people, not just players, has helped the Heat during the winning streak. It matches Miami's longest of the season and moved the Heat to a season-high five games over .500.

Miami hasn't played more than two straight road games since the season began, and those came on the first two nights of the year. The Heat also visit Utah, Golden State and Sacramento on this upcoming trip.
