The Miami Heat defeated the Golden State Warriors 110–96 on November 19 at Kaseya Center, with Nikola Powell leading Miami's offense on 25 points and Bam Adebayo adding 20 in a defensive showcase. The Heat's fourth quarter proved decisive, outscoring Golden State 38–22 in the final period to pull away decisively. Miami shot 40.6 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers while holding the Warriors to 35.8 percent shooting despite Golden State also connecting on 13 threes; the disparity came in efficiency and discipline, as Golden State committed 21 turnovers against Miami's 14. Bogdan Bogdanovic paced the Warriors with 20 points, and Quentin Post contributed 19, but neither could sustain Golden State's momentum as Miami's defense (102.4 defensive rating) clamped down in crunch time. The Heat's 52 rebounds and 30 assists reflected their team-oriented approach, while the Warriors' 62 boards went underutilized in an inefficient offensive performance. Miami's dominant fourth-quarter execution signals improved late-game execution and defensive intensity heading forward.
