The Miami Heat ( 29 - 35 ) defeated the Brooklyn Nets ( 25 - 38 ) 104 - 98 on Wednesday at American Airlines Arena in Miami . The Heat got out to a quick start in this one , out - scoring the Nets 34 - 23 right away in the first quarter . The Nets made a fourth quarter push to bring it within five , but the Heat had established too large of a lead early in the game that the Nets came up just short . The Heat finished at 46 percent from the field and 29 percent from the three - point line , while the Nets shot 44 percent from the floor and 35 percent from deep . What really made the difference though was turnovers . The Heat forced the Nets into 21 turnovers , while committing just 11 of their own . Dwyane Wade did the bulk of the shooting in this one , going 10 - for - 25 from the field and 8 - for - 11 from the free throw line for a game - high of 28 points , while also adding nine assists and two steals . He 's playing some of his best basketball of the season right now , averaging 29 points over his last four games . With Hassan Whiteside sitting out due to suspension , Chris Andersen moved into the starting lineup at center . He was very efficient with his time , finishing with 18 points ( 8 - 9 FG , 2 - 4 FT ) and 14 rebounds in 29 minutes . It was far - and - away his best game of the year so far , as it marked a new season - high in points , along with being his first double - double of the year . He 's averaging just 5 points and five rebounds on the season . Also playing a big factor in the win was Goran Dragic , who made his return to the court after missing two games with a back injury . In 35 minutes , Dragic posted 17 points ( 5 - 9 FG , 1 - 3 3Pt , 6 - 9 FT ) , three assists and two steals . Considering he played a full 35 minutes , he should be over the back injury moving forward . Doing their best to keep the Nets close was the duo of Deron Williams and Jarrett Jack . Williams finished with 18 points ( 6 - 10 FG , 3 - 4 3Pt , 3 - 3 FT ) , four assists and two steals , while Jack posted 18 points ( 5 - 8 FG , 1 - 1 3Pt , 7 - 8 FT ) , four rebounds and four assists of his own . Despite coming off the bench , Jack has remained quite effective and has now combined for 33 points and seven assists over his last two games . He 's also shot over 50 percent in each of his last three games . Starting at center , Brook Lopez recorded 15 points ( 6 - 11 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 3 - 4 FT ) and 14 rebounds in 32 minutes . He has now posted three double - doubles over his last four games , a stretch where he 's averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds per game . Coming close to a double - double of his own , Thaddeus Young finished with 15 points ( 6 - 11 FG , 1 - 2 3Pt , 2 - 4 FT ) , seven rebounds and two steals . Since joining the Nets 11 games ago , Young has averaged 13 points and 5 rebounds , but he 's starting to get more and more comfortable , so we could see his numbers on the rise again soon . The Heat 's next game will be on the road against the Toronto Raptors on Friday , while the Nets will travel to Philadelphia to play the 76ers on Saturday .
