Dion Waiters had an surprisingly hot start to the regular season in his first year with the Heat , as he became one of the primary scoring options on a struggling Miami team , but a groin injury in late November derailed the former Syracuse star and left him sidelined for a little over a month . Following his return on Jan. 4 , Waiters found the floor inconsistently as he worked his way back into basketball shape . But now , eight games later , Waiters ' efficiency and production has been out of this world . Following his 33 - point heroic performance against the Warriors on Monday , Waiters has now , in each of his last two games , scored 33 points in 33 minutes , and he has done so at a ridiculous efficiency . In those two performances , Waiters has shot 25 - of - 39 ( 64 percent ) from the field and 11 - of - 16 ( 69 percent ) from behind the arc . Miami , as winners of four straight , is hot , and Waiters is the biggest reason why . The Miami Heat defeated the Golden State Warriors 105 - 102 Monday at AmericanAirlines Arena . After Kevin Durant tied the game at 102 with just over 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter , Dion Waiters held the ball at the top of the key while the clock ticked down . With a little over two seconds on the clock , Waiters launched a shot from behind the arc . The shot hit nothing but net and the Heat pulled off one of the biggest upset victories in the NBA this season . Waiters was not only the hero , but he was also the star , as he finished with a game - high 33 points on 13 - of - 20 shooting from the field and 6 - of - 8 from 3 - point land in 33 minutes . As a team , the Heat were scorching from behind the arc , hitting a ridiculous 43 percent of their shots from long range in the winning effort . The win gives Miami their fourth straight victory as they were perfect over their four - game home stand . Meanwhile , the loss ends the Warriors ' ( 38 - 7 ) seven - game win streak , as it ended up being too little too late in the closing moments for the NBA 's top team . Durant led the way in the scoring column , finishing with 27 points on 12 - of - 23 shooting from the field , but he did shoot just 1 - of - 8 from behind the arc . Additionally , Steph Curry almost put together a triple - double , as he recorded 21 points , 10 rebounds and eight assists in 37 minutes . Klay Thompson added 22 of his own , but JaVale McGee 's 10 points made him the fourth and final Warriors to score in double figures . Up next , the Heat will look to continue their winning ways in Brooklyn on Wednesday , while the Warriors will look to return to form against the Hornets on Wednesday .
