Mavericks dominate second half, defeat Heat 107-99

The Miami Heat played a solid first half against the Dallas Mavericks. The Heat doubled Luka Doncic, forcing him to give up the ball. Bam Adebayo and Omer Yurtseven (Dewayne Dedmon missed the game with back spasms) feasted inside the paint. Miami built a 13-point lead and went into halftime up 59-51.

In the second half, the Mavericks flipped the script.

Dallas took control of the game with a late third-quarter run and never looked back, defeating the Heat and snapping their five-game win streak. The Mavericks got hot from beyond the arc, while Miami made just one 3-pointer the entire second half (yes, you read that correctly).
