Goran Dragic and Kelly Olynyk added 15 points apiece to help Miami rebound from a loss at Chicago on Monday that snapped the Heat’s season-high seven-game winning streak.
Whiteside, averaging 13.8 points coming in, shot 10 for 12 from the floor. He got his 600th career block in the third quarter.
Olynyk scored 10 points in the final quarter to help his team avoid back-to-back losses for the first time since Dec.
