The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat 118–108 on December 3 at the American Airlines Center, staying under the Vegas total of 238.5 points. C. Flagg led Dallas with 22 points while N. Marshall added 18, as the Mavericks shot 50.5 percent from the field and made 16 three-pointers to control the pace. Miami's K. Ware and B. Adebayo each scored 22 and 21 points respectively, but the Heat managed only 39.6 percent shooting and made just 11 threes, a significant efficiency gap that proved decisive. Dallas dominated the second quarter, outscoring Miami 36–21 to build a commanding lead that the Heat could not overcome despite a strong fourth-quarter push. The Mavericks' defensive rating of 102.9 held firm against Miami's 102.9 offensive rating, while Dallas's 31 assists on 50 rebounds showcased their ball movement advantage. Miami's 11 steals highlighted their pressure defense, yet the Heat's 10 turnovers and overall shooting struggles limited their offensive output. Dallas's win strengthens their position in the Western Conference playoff race.
