The Heat 's offense was on point , as they shot 54 percent from the field and 50 percent from three - point range . Lou Williams led the Lakers in scoring , as he dropped 27 points off the bench . D'Angelo Russell had a nice game too , accumulating 17 points , four rebounds and seven assists . Justise Winslow and Hassan Whiteside carried the load for Miami , as they each totaled 23 points and 13 rebounds in the win . Goran Dragic continued his great form , amassing 21 points and seven assists . James Johnson was a nice spark off the bench , accruing 19 points , eight rebounds and six assists . The Miami Heat defeated the Los Angeles Lakers , 115 - 107 , at American Airlines Arena on Thursday . Even though Miami trailed by 19 at times in the second quarter , they rallied to pull out a much needed win .
