     Wade entered the game late in the first and nailed a three-point shot with 1:33 left to cut the deficit to 19-17. It would be his only points in the contest as he played 22 minutes.
     Tyler Johnson drained a team-high 19 points for the Heat and Josh Richardson added 16 points. Two Miami players had double-doubles as Hassan Whiteside got 12 points and 16 rebounds while Bam Adebayo compiled 15 points along with 10 rebounds.
