The Miami Heat defeated the Phoenix Suns 111–102 on January 25 at Footprint Center, with Bam Adebayo and Jaylen Jaquez Jr. leading the way with 22 and 20 points respectively. Miami's offensive efficiency proved decisive, posting a 113.5 rating compared to Phoenix's 101.6, while shooting 41.9 percent from the field and draining nine three-pointers. The Heat dominated ball movement with 21 assists against the Suns' 14, and controlled the glass with 59 rebounds to Phoenix's 56. Devin Brooks paced the Suns with 26 points and Grayson Allen added 18, but Phoenix's 37 percent shooting and seven made threes left them short. The game fell well below the 225.5-point Vegas total, finishing 27 points under the line as defenses tightened in the second half. Miami's 32-point first quarter set the tone early, and despite Phoenix's balanced scoring, the Heat's superior execution and depth on offense proved insurmountable. The victory strengthens Miami's Eastern Conference positioning as it continues its road stretch.
