The Miami Heat (5-4), missing key players Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler, showcased their depth in a 117-109 victory against the Atlanta Hawks (5-4).
Bam Adebayo dominated with 26 points and 17 rebounds, while rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. contributed a career-high 20 points.
Miami’s resilience shone after losing leading scorer Herro to a sprained ankle, with Kyle Lowry and Josh Richardson stepping up with 17 and 16 points, respectively.
Despite Trae Young’s 27 points for the Hawks, including 14 in the fourth quarter, Atlanta couldn’t overcome Miami’s lead.
