Miami HEAT vs. Memphis Grizzlies | HEAT Full-Game Highlights | October 17, 2025

three and eight scoreless. Almost a minute and a half gone by. The deflection by Ban and the takeaway by Ban. Wow, what a rundown. Meanwhile, he’s filling the large void left by Jean Moran’s preseason ankle injury. They hope to have Moran opening night. That’s a pretty drive finish by Norman Powell. Ridiculous bounce right on top of the backboard, too. And somehow it goes. He made 138 triples as a rookie last year. Davon from the wing knocks it down. Memphis team, John, that did win 48 games last year, but had to play their way into the playoffs where they got knocked out in the first round by Oklahoma City. First time all-star three years ago, also chosen the defensive player of the year in that season. Bam. Euro stepping. It’s a tough shot. Heat right now in the first quarter. A hard B hit that one right over the top of Maxens Proman. Three-point Heatley. The lob broken up by Wear thought about through spinning to the paint. Bam. Another offensive board and put back. His second illegal screen called in this quarter. He big man tandem on the kickout pass. We’re getting this shot and Bam moving right in to take up space and this allows watch Bam on the right side getting inside his man there taking up all that space on the short. Couple of offensive rebounds for Bam before coming out and being replaced by Haime Hawz Jr. who’s had a good preseason. Norman Kaboom the season from him offensively. Well, he’s been delivering. There’s a down screen. Khal Wear able to get enough body there on the HZ finds Smith out on the edge. Now Wear against Jiren Jackson. Oh, set him up perfectly for that jump hook. Beautiful left hand. Kel Wear just really shows his talent at times. And look at this gorgeous release. Gets it up high. So hard to block. Smith already has three rebounds in the game. Guarded by Jaylen Wells. Bam’s back in. He works against Landale. And John, this is the best segment of offense we’ve seen from Bam in the preseason. He already I love the ball fake and straight line drive getting to the hook. He doing a better job of defensive boarding. Fonte. Kaboom. Here’s the quick reversal to get Fonteio the triple. And Pam Adapio, the the do everything front court star of the Heat. Hakez for three. Kaboom. A rattled triple for Hakez. More of a three-point shooting attack. And it’s been different guys from Fonteo to Hakez Jr. finishing around the basket. Couple of putbacks for him along with a three. He’s got several points. That’s a nice stretch out score for Pella Larson. Very, very skilled for a big man at 7 ft. Uh can stretch the floor as a stretch four or five. Rebounds the ball well. from. Oh, pretty shot for Fontekio. Get into that heat rotation. Really nice drive and kick game as Miami continues to get into the paint, compressing the defense. The kick out from Mitchell gets the open three. Here’s DaVon Mitchell from rugged to dogged. There’s Bam. Darted line jumper. Jayen Wells, he’s going to find a way to get on the scoreboard. He’s having a big first half at 11. And Fontekio back quickly for Miami. PL Wear highlighted a very impressive group of rookie big men last year. Miami’s down by three. 738 left in the half. That’s DaVon Mitchell kabooming from the corner. It’s one of the reasons they probably had the part with Desmond B who will now start the season in the Orlando Magic back court. You’ll see them Wednesday in Orlando. Norman Powell to Javon Small. He come into the game and made an impact with eight quick points. looks very comfortable out there with that pullup game. Davon to the paint, gets deep, gets the basket and the foul. Probing dribble here. Hard right hand drive gets Pope back on his heels and able to shoot it up over the top. Riley who gave him his opportunity to be a head coach in the NBA. Also mentioned the late great Hall of Famer Dr. Jack Ramsey. Huge coaching influence on Eric Spolster as he was growing up in Point. Aware got a piece of that. Here comes Wiggins. Wiggins all the way. Yes. Here comes Wiggins with the Heat up 54. Hawkins. Nice dish. Kell cramming it through. Set up by the defense. And the dish from Hawkins where they’re putting the defense on their heels. And it’s not just about scoring in transition. It’s about trying to get into their offense quicker in the half court, too. But this is a great example of what happens when you do push. getting easier shots even when they’re not getting fast breaks in their half court offense will have more uncontested shots. This perimeter defensive segment to the Heat forcing an eighth turnover on Memphis and the wear jump hookionship team with the Connecticut Huskies in 2024. That’s just a great post up there again. Zack Edy and those Purdue Boiler Makers. Eight points off the bench for Spencer tonight. Here’s where underneath set up nicely by Norman P. He’s had to do that. Um he’s he’s doing it with bigger minutes and and he looked fresh and he’s very comfortable and he’s doing it again tonight. He has played with great energy thus far. 15 minutes so far this this first half during the preseason. He’s been the top scorer, rebounder, and three-point shooter as Wiggins nails one. But Wells continues to impress. He came in averaging over 14 points a game in the preseason. The former first team all rookie player a year ago. All kaboom. Well, Memphis now 13 made triples. They’re at 57% from downtown. You got to love the kiss off the glass to condition. He went one for six in the first half. Look at the way that Norman Pal can create for himself here in the post. He’s strong. Just a really impressive vision there and finding the big man Landell on the move where he can operate. Oh, nifty finish for Norman Powell. uh right now when you look at the numbers of what he’s been able to do uh at the point guard spot, he’s got 16 points scoring the basketball. He’s able to utilize uh one extra big step with those seven ft uh strides there. Created some room for himself. Biggest lead of the night for the Grizzlies and they have 22 points in four and a half minutes of this quarter. They’re ahead by seven. where Khloe wear hard attack here on the move. If first you miss, go right back up and crush. And that’s exactly what Kel Wear does. How about the length here? He’s doing it on both ends of the floor. But I I’m impressed with his consistency right now, the effort that he continues to sustain throughout the course of the game. Corner three. Kaboom. Weer hustles to his 10th rebound. So he’s got another preseason double double. His fourth of the preseason and Wiggins with a right hand finish. Wow. Possession before gets around Cwell Pope and beats Aldama before he can ro. Powell baseline driving and finishing plus a foul. Norman Powell does it again. He’s got 22 points again. A variety of ways. taller player. Aldama gets around him and then gets to the weak side of the rim as Jiren Jackson Jr. comes over. He sails by him and with the concentration able to get that one to go. Plus one. Terry Rosier ran through that. You have to fight through it as a defender to get the ball. Oh, Norman Powell serving him up for his big man that time for the ban slam. Talked about Powell needing to be a playmaker. He does so on point right here. getting Bam activated on that right side. Goes through three different defenders and Cowwell Pope almost able to knock that one away, but Bam. Memphis up by two. Four on the shot clock and Bam with the steal of the Cowwell Pope pass. Eight starters tonight have totaled 74 of the 91 points as Bam comes across gets two more plus a foul. to be a defensive player of the year. The other who once was for Memphis.

As the ball moves, he’s able to square up Jackson Jr. late on the close out. Jiren Jackson Jr. and it comes down to Rose. He’s three for 12. He’s missed all four of his threes. Rosir 14 points. One of five double figure scorers for Memphis. They’re ahead by a point. Minute left in the third. And B strikes again over the top and then being able to wheel and attack with that runner.

His first preseason minutes. Tro with four points in his six third quarter minutes. Ry’s made 17 of their 21 free throws in this game. That’s Hall rejected by Wear. Loaded out here on the floor.
