Wiggins' 28 points on 9‑of‑10 shooting, including a lay‑up that pushed him past 15,000 career points, were the difference as the Heat outscored the Grizzlies 136‑120. Norman Powell added 25, Tyler Herro 14 and Bam Adebayo 13, while Kasparas Jakucionis and Jaime Jacquez Jr. each scored 12.
The Heat surged in the third quarter, outscoring Memphis 39‑26, and a late altercation saw Scotty Pippen Jr. charge at Myron Gardner, leading to both players being ejected. Memphis, missing Ja Morant and dealing with multiple injuries, fell 11‑14 in recent games.
