Heat use late Andrew Wiggins 3 to beat Thunder
- Jalen Williams exited the Thunder matchup in Miami midway through the second quarter after grabbing his right hamstring, and the team said he was diagnosed with right thigh soreness and ruled out for the game.
- On the play, Williams drove into the lane and attempted an awkward behind-the-head pass to Chet Holmgren, after missing the season's first 19 games recovering from offseason wrist surgery.
- Williams had eight points, three rebounds and three assists in 13 minutes before exiting, shooting 3-for-5 and 2-for-2 from three, his first multi-3 outing since Dec. 19.
- Miami defeated Oklahoma City 122-120, snapping the Thunder's five-game winning streak, while Chet Holmgren embraced a larger scoring role with 14 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks, and Ajay Mitchell replaced Williams in the lineup.
- The Thunder said Williams will be evaluated on Sunday, and it is unclear if he will play Monday in Cleveland as Miami grabbed 21 offensive rebounds for 33 second-chance points, exposing OKC's rebounding issue during Isaiah Hartenstein's absence.
