The Miami Heat was slow on offense to start this one with Dedmon and Tucker doing most of the work. On the other end, Miami struggled to guard Franz Wagner and Robin Lopez as Orlando got out to a small, but early lead. Unfortunately for Miami, it wasn’t long before the lead ballooned to 10. Eventually, the Heat would pull back thanks to strong play from Kyle and Duncan and go up three. Coach Spo, shifted back to quick rotations so Yurt, Marcus Garrett, and Max Strus saw minutes in the first and would pull back on 23-4 run and take 9 point lead into the second.
