A Goga Bitadze tip-in gave Orlando a one-point lead with 4.9 seconds remaining in the game and the chance to beat the Miami Heat twice in one week. However, that was enough time for Tyler Herro to do his thing.

This was Miami’s third straight game without Jimmy Butler, who was out with “return to competition reconditioning” and has been away from the team, but is expected to be available Saturday against Atlanta. Also, Pat Riley says the Heat are not trading Butler.

Herro finished with a team-high 20 points for the Heat, while Alec Burks had 17 off the bench. Jalen Suggs led the shorthanded Magic scoring 29.
