Tyler Herro's Late Jumper Lifts Heat Over Magic in Nail-Biter
Miami rallies from a 17-point deficit to edge Orlando 89-88, avenging last week's collapse against their in-state rival.
- Tyler Herro hit a game-winning 19-foot jumper with 0.5 seconds left, securing an 89-88 victory for the Miami Heat over the Orlando Magic.
- The Heat overcame a 17-point first-half deficit, fueled by a dominant fourth quarter where they outscored the Magic 28-17.
- Miami's strong three-point shooting (50% on 15-of-30) created a 30-point advantage over Orlando, who struggled at just 16.7% from beyond the arc.
- Jalen Suggs led the Magic with a game-high 29 points, but his potential game-winning shot at the buzzer missed.
- The victory comes as Miami continues to play without Jimmy Butler, who missed his third straight game, while Orlando remains without key players Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, and Moe Wagner due to injuries.
