For the Heat, Caleb Martin had 22 points and seven rebounds off the bench while Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 18 points and five rebounds.
In the first half, the Nets had around a double-digit lead for most of the half as the Heat were missing Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Duncan Robinson to give them offensive production. Miami was able to get some good minutes out of the remaining healthy players like Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kyle Lowry, but still trailed the Nets 63-53 heading into halftime.
In the second half, Brooklyn continued to keep their foot on the gas as they did not give Miami a chance to get the deficit under double digits. The Nets played a complete game on both ends of the floor from wire-to-wire and they come away from this game with a 112-97 win.
