Heat Hold Off Suns 127-121 After 20-Point Swing as Booker Returns From Ankle Scare

Miami snapped a three-game slide with late shot-making that steadied a shaky second half.

Overview

  • Bam Adebayo scored 29 with three clutch jumpers in the final minutes, and Norman Powell added 27 including the go-ahead three with 48 seconds left.
  • Tyler Herro finished with 23 as Miami built a 20-point lead, lost it, then executed late to close out the win.
  • Devin Booker exited in the third after an awkward left-ankle landing, returned in the fourth, and posted 24 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.
  • Phoenix tied it 92-92 at the end of the third and led by as many as six before Miami retook control, with Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen scoring 25 each.
  • A late flagrant on Brooks set up Andrew Wiggins’ sealing free throws, as Phoenix continues a six-game trip at Detroit on Thursday and Miami hosts Boston.
