NEW YORK (AP) — Both the Miami Heat and Brooklyn Nets are streaking. They’re going in opposite directions, though.
Dion Waiters scored 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, including the clinching 3 with 6.8 seconds left, and Miami overcame an 18-point deficit in the final period to beat beleaguered Brooklyn 109-106 on Wednesday night.
“Oh man, I love that moment,” Waiters said. “You can never shy away from that. You just can’t be afraid of taking them shots. I just wanted to get it over with and fortunately I made the shot.”
Wayne Ellington had 22 points and Goran Dragic added 17 for the resurgent Heat (16-30).
