In a Wednesday night affair featuring arguably the top two teams from each conference, a dominant two-way effort from the Phoenix Suns propelled their 111-90 victory over the Miami Heat at FTX Arena, snapping the Heat’s four-game home win streak.
The Heat, without Jimmy Butler (illness), got off to a robust 25-14 start, but the Suns — on a second night of a back-to-back — outscored the Heat 97-65 the rest of the way. Miami shot 29.5 percent in the second half and 39.8 percent in total, knocking down 10-of-33 (30.3 percent) from 3-point range after beginning 8-of-16 from distance.
