Meanwhile, this marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Heat (14-15), as they are coming off a hard-fought win in OKC on Tuesday night. The game got out to a tight start and was tied at 31, after one quarter. The Heat turned it up in the second and built a 12-point lead by halftime, but they let it slip away in the third and held just a two-point lead heading into the fourth. They trailed by seven points with four minutes left, but they closed the game on a 15-6 run to claim their second straight win. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 35 points, three rebounds and two assists, in 40 minutes. Bam Adebayo followed up with 15 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and two steals, while Kyle Lowry added 14 points, three rebounds and six assists. The Heat will look to keep it rolling as they face the third game of a four-game road trip, hoping to improve on their 5-9 road record.
