It wasn’t pretty, but the Miami Heat escaped the second night of a back-to-back against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, 106-102.
Miami shot just 44.7 percent from the floor and made just five of its 27 3-point attempts, yet still escaped with a win. Those five threes were the fewest in a single game this season, and it was its fewest for a single win since Jan. 9, 2018.
Kel’el Ware put together another dominant performance, scoring 20 points while grabbing 18 rebounds, his eighth double-double of the season. He shot 7-of-14 from the floor and a season-high 3-of-5 from beyond the arc.
Tyler Herro scored a team-high 24 points in his return, including a stretch where he made nine straight baskets after missing his first four. He had seven rebounds with three steals in 29 minutes as well. It took him a quarter to look in rhythm, but he had a great game, all things considered. Bam Adebayo finished with 17 points, but snatched a steal that led to Herro’s game-winning floater with 41 seconds left.
