After a successful close in California, the Miami Heat traveled to Las Vegas for their second portion of NBA Summer League action. Led by a sensational debut from Marcus Garrett, the Heat would continue their winning ways after securing a, 88-78, win over Boston.

Even with their first-round selection, Nikola Jovic, going scoreless in 14 minutes, the Heat were able to maintain a sizable lead throughout Saturday’s matchup.

While their backcourt depth continues to look balanced, there was also great frontcourt production which allowed Miami to remain afloat.

At the forefront of that production, Orlando Robinson continues to play a critical role for this Miami summer group. The mobile and agile big man keeps on showing you the stuff that got him here and perhaps—just might keep him here.

Just 24 hours after agreeing to a deal, the Heat’s latest Exhibit 10 signee posted 12 points with eight rebounds—and added two rejections against Boston.
