It was a rare 8:30 P.M. start for a Heat home contest. Games would sometimes happen this late based on the television broadcast window during NBA Playoffs.
Both teams ended up being tied 28-28 after one quarter. Miami(4-7), who started a four-game homestand, were able to get a 60-53 halftime lead.
Portland(7-3) fell behind by double digits and then trailed 81-73 at the end of three quarters. The Trail Blazers came back from 11 points down in the fourth and it was capped by a Josh Hart three-point shot with no time remaining in regulation.
All five Heat starters scored in double figures tonight. Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Max Strus each had 16 points each. Kyle Lowry and Gabe Vincent both dropped in 15 points each. Jerami Grant had 24 points while Damian Lillard added 19 points for Portland.
