"The Heat were led by a resilient and dominant performance from captain Bam Adebayo, who put up a game-high 29 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, two steals and one block on an uber efficient 11 of 15 shooting overall. The All-Star big man also nailed 4 of his 6 attempts from 3-point range and dropped 13 straight points in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. It was a long overdue offensive explosion for Adebayo, as he drops over 20+ points for the first time since December 5."
"For the rest of the starters, Andrew Wiggins played well defensively but struggled shooting with just 8 points on 2 of 11 from the field. He was also 0 for 5 from deep. Davion Mitchell started off with an encouraging impact on both ends, but left the game in the second half with a shoulder contusion. He did not return to the game."
Miami rallied at home to beat Phoenix 127-121, improving to 21-19 while the Suns dropped to 24-16. Bam Adebayo paced the victory with 29 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block on 11-of-15 shooting, drilling four of six threes and scoring 13 straight in the fourth. Norman Powell and Tyler Herro provided strong offensive support. Andrew Wiggins defended well but shot 2-of-11 with no threes. Davion Mitchell exited with a shoulder contusion and did not return. Erik Spoelstra leaned on a three-man second unit led by Jaime Jaquez Jr., who contributed 16 points and eight assists, and Miami held off a late Phoenix push after a 16-point early lead.
