Heat Hold Off Suns as Adebayo, Powell Close Out 127-121 Win

Bam Adebayo ended a scoring slump with clutch fourth-quarter shooting to help Miami stop a three-game slide.

Overview

  • Miami led by 20 before Phoenix erased the deficit to tie it 92-92 entering the fourth and briefly moved ahead by as many as six.
  • Adebayo finished with 29 points on efficient shooting and hit multiple late jumpers, while Tyler Herro added 23.
  • Norman Powell, available after being listed questionable with back soreness, scored 27 and nailed the go-ahead 3-pointer with 48 seconds left.
  • Devin Booker exited late in the third with an apparent left ankle issue, returned early in the fourth, and closed with 24 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.
  • Dillon Brooks was called for a late flagrant foul with 11.5 seconds remaining, and Andrew Wiggins’ free throws helped seal it; Phoenix was without Jalen Green and Jamaree Bouyea and visits Detroit on Thursday, while Miami hosts Boston.
