This game is will complete a back-to-back set that featured an opening game against the Indiana Pacers that Miami won in a defensive slugfest on Wednesday.
Miami had to fight all night to get back in the match but their defense proved to be the difference in clutch time.

Former Pacers player, Victor Oladipo didn’t face his former team and still hasn’t made his Heat debut dealing with an illness. Kendrick Nunn has missed the last two games with a sprained ankle. Both are listed as day-to-day.
