MIAMI — Andrew Wiggins drilled a go-ahead 3-pointer in the final moments as the Miami Heat edged the Oklahoma City Thunder 122–120 on Saturday night, handing Oklahoma City its first loss after five consecutive victories.

The decisive shot came with under 30 seconds remaining, capping a tense back-and-forth contest that saw multiple lead changes in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma City had one final chance to force overtime, but its last-second attempt from beyond the arc fell short.

Shai shines in losing effort

Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered a standout performance, pouring in 39 points to lead all scorers. The All-NBA guard consistently attacked the paint and kept Oklahoma City within striking distance throughout the night.

Despite his scoring outburst, the Thunder were unable to execute in the closing possessions, a rarity for a team that has been one of the most efficient late-game units this season.

Heat execute down the stretch

Miami, playing with a short-handed rotation, leaned heavily on Bam Adebayo, who finished with 30 points and provided steady offense when the Thunder threatened to pull away. His production helped the Heat stay competitive until Wiggins’ timely shot sealed the outcome.

Wiggins’ late 3-pointer was his biggest basket of the night, giving Miami a narrow lead that it would not relinquish.

Missed opportunities prove costly for Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City had opportunities to swing the game in its favor in the final minute but failed to convert key looks. The Thunder’s final possession ended without a basket, allowing Miami to secure the two-point win.

The loss snapped Oklahoma City’s five-game winning streak and served as a reminder of how thin the margin for error can be in close NBA contests.

The Thunder will look to regroup as they continue their road trip, while the Heat build momentum from a victory that highlighted their resilience and late-game composure.
