The Heat ( 25 - 32 ) had finally cooled off just slightly after a torrid 13 - game winning streak with two consecutive losses coming in to Wednesday , and the probability of a third straight defeat loomed large considering the quality of their opponent and the hostile venue .

Whiteside also hauled in 14 rebounds , dished out one assist , and recorded five blocks , while Waiters added nine rebounds and seven assists . Goran Dragic was right behind his teammates with 21 points , five assists and one rebound . Rodney McGruder supplied 11 points , two assists , one rebound and two steals .
