The Miami Heat got a great win over a Phoenix Suns team that, though a little banged up, still had all that it takes to beat any team on a given night. And that’s just what they almost did in this instance to the Miami Heat in their own building.

Getting out to a pretty even start, things would begin to unravel a bit for the Miami heat ball club in the second half. Devin Booker was nailing shots, as he typically does, while the Miami Heat were falling victim to one of their typical bugaboos thus far this season.

Deandre Ayton, like many other bigger bodies so far this year have, killed them on the glass, in the paint, and at the rim with their sheer size and height. Mason Plumlee and Nick Richards of the Hornets are two such examples in recent days.

But the Miami Heat would overcome that and they would do it with big plays on both sides from all of their guys.
