Norman Powell sank six of the Heat's franchise-record-tying 24 3-pointers as Miami blew out the visiting Los Angeles Clippers 140-123 on Monday.
Powell put up 30 points and shot 6-for-10 from long distance for the Heat, who won for the seventh time in eight games. Bam Adebayo set a career high with five treys while scoring 27 points and grabbing a season-high 14 rebounds.
Miami's Andrew Wiggins and Tyler Herro each added 22 points, and Davion Mitchell scored 16 points, going 4-for-4 from 3-point range, and dished out 12 assists. Herro also sank four treys.
It was the fifth time this season that the Heat scored 140 points or more in a game. Miami completed a 3-1 homestand and improved to 10-2 at home.
Los Angeles' Kawhi Leonard led all scorers with 36 points, 19 of them coming in the fourth quarter when the result was essentially settled. James Harden finished with 11 points in only 20 minutes, and Ivica Zubac contributed 16 points and 13 rebounds.
The Clippers took their fifth loss in a row and fell for the eighth time in nine games. The Monday contest was the opener of a five-game road trip.
The Heat trailed 46-44 before they closed out the first half on a 32-10 run to lead 76-56 at the break.
Miami went 14-for-21 from 3-point distance in the first half. The Clippers were 3-for-15 from beyond the arc.
The second half was more of the same for the Heat as Adebayo and Powell continued their barrage from distance. Miami went on a 12-0 run to open the half, featuring two 3-pointers from Adebayo and one apiece from Mitchell and Powell.
Following a Clippers timeout, Los Angeles coach Tyronn Lue chose to sit all five of his starters with 10:36 left in the third quarter. Harden never checked back into the game.
The Clippers outscored the Heat 41-26 in the fourth quarter and were able to cut the deficit as low as 12 points after trailing by 38 in the third.
The Heat wound up 24-for-46 (52.2%) on 3-point attempts, while the Clippers finished 9-for-29 (31%).
