Overview

• Orlando outrebounded Miami 57-40 and held a 42-13 edge in second-chance points despite committing 19 turnovers.
• One day after finalizing a four-year, $62.4 million extension, Nikola Jovic started for Miami as Erik Spoelstra went smaller and brought Kel'el Ware off the bench.
• Heat guard Dru Smith returned ahead of schedule from last December's Achilles tear, posting seven points, a steal and two blocks in about 10 minutes.
• Miami was without five guards, including Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell, while Orlando sat Jalen Suggs and rested Franz Wagner.
• Starters on both teams saw limited run, and Magic rookie Jase Richardson hit three third‑quarter threes to finish with 13 points ahead of the Oct. 12 exhibition and the Oct. 22 season opener.
