Despite Kevin Durand dropping 32 points for Houston, bomb Otobayo paced Miami with 24 points and Tyler Harrell chipped in 18. Midway through the first quarter, Harrell and Durand got into a heated exchange after a whistle, leading to double technical fouls for both. Harrell later clued it up, saying he knew Durand a bit and was just trying to spark some fire in his team after back-to-back losses to Milwaukee and Philly. He wanted that competitive edge to get everyone going. The Heat trailed early by double digits after Houston's quick 14-4 run, but they fought back to win the first quarter 32-2, 28, and took the game home. Miami moves to 32 wins and 29 losses, sitting 8th in the east and two games back from escaping the plane. Houston stays strong at 37 and 22, 3rd in the west, but just 3 and a half games clear
