For the Spurs, the new star Victor Wenbanyama performed well, contributing 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, but failed to prevent the Spurs from losing.
After the game started, both sides attacked fiercely and the score was back and forth. The Spurs relied on Wen Banyama's dominance in the interior to score frequently, while the Heat relied on Herro's organization and Rozier's outside shooting to maintain the confrontation. At the end of the half, the Heat led by a slight advantage of 5 points, and the game was still suspenseful.
In the second half, the Heat's outside shooting suddenly exploded. In the third quarter, they hit 8 three-pointers and scored 46 points, which completely changed the trend of the game. With Weir firing on all cylinders, Duncan Robinson and Rozier hit long shots from beyond the three-point line, and the Heat quickly widened the gap to double digits.

Heat player statistics
Ware scored 25 points, Duncan Robinson scored 21 points, Rozier scored 20 points, Tyler Herro scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, Nikola Jovic scored 14 points, and Jaime Harkes scored 12 points. Jimmy Butler played low-key, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 blocks.
Spurs player statistics
Devin Vassell scored 23 points, Victor Wembanyama scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and Chris Paul scored 10 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds.
The Heat's bench lineup became the key to victory, contributing more than half of the team's points. Ware's efficient scoring and Robinson's accurate shooting injected strong firepower into the team. The three-point rain in the third quarter broke down the Spurs' defense and completely locked the tone of the game.
As for the Spurs, although Wentz and Valanciunas once again demonstrated their all-round skills, the team's overall offense lacked continuity, and the collapse in the third quarter made them lose the chance to win.
The Heat improved their winning rate with this victory, and the team's offense and defense are gradually warming up. If they can continue the firepower of the bench lineup, they can expect to compete for a playoff spot in the future. The Spurs need to adjust as soon as possible, improve their defensive loopholes and focus in the second half to get rid of their recent struggles.
