For the Heat, Kel’el Ware notched 22 points and collected 10 rebounds, while Tyler Herro contributed 20 points but failed to score after half-time. Herro, recently returning from surgery on his left ankle and foot, made all eight of his first-half field goals but missed his five shots, including four three-point attempts, after the break.
Norman Powell, Miami’s leading scorer, was sidelined with a sprained left ankle, and Dallas’ centre Daniel Gafford exited in the second half due to a left ankle injury and did not return to the contest.
Crucial Late-Game Push
As the Heat closed a 17-point second-half gap to four with three minutes remaining, courtesy of Bam Adebayo’s basket (Adebayo finished with 21 points), Flagg and Davis combined for Dallas’ final eight points, securing the result. Davis took part in back-to-back games for the first time since a month-long absence caused by a left calf strain.
Nembhard was flawless from long range in the second quarter, knocking down all three of his attempts within a three-minute window as Dallas established a lead they would not relinquish. As a unit, the Mavericks converted 16 of their 32 three-point shots.
