Overview
- Andrew Wiggins converted Nikola Jovic’s lob for a buzzer-beating dunk to seal a 140-138 overtime win at Kaseya Center.
- Erik Spoelstra ceded the final huddle to assistant Chris Quinn, who called a years-old inbounds play he had marked “CQ” on Spoelstra’s card.
- Heat players credited Davion Mitchell’s screen, Norman Powell’s hard cut as a diversion and Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s spacing for creating the rim run.
- Donovan Mitchell forced overtime by drilling a corner three with 0.4 seconds left in regulation after a scramble for the rebound.
- Miami moved to 7-4 and 5-0 at home, continues to lead early in pace and points per game, and will face Cleveland again Wednesday while missing Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
