Early in the game, Dean Wade opened the scoring for the Cavaliers with a two-point shot, assisted by Donovan Mitchell. This first basket created a very high bar for the entire quarter. As Andrew Wiggins of the Heat proved, it’s not that easy to get settled in, clanking a 25-footer three-pointer soon after.
As the quarter continued, Pelle Larsson pulled out a quick step back three for Miami. He finished with a nifty one-footed layup, courtesy of an assist from Wiggins. Ty Jerome penetrated and cranked up an 11-foot floating jump shot to give the Cavaliers a four-point cushion. His talents quickly expanded their advantage during the barnburner back-and-forth contest.
The Heat’s Tyler Herro followed with a point of his own, hitting one of two free-throw attempts. Despite the scoring opportunities, Davion Mitchell missed a 14-foot pullup jump shot for Miami, while Jarrett Allen secured a defensive rebound for Cleveland.
With the shot clock winding down, Wiggins drained a tough as usual 25 foot three-pointer to put Minnesota on top. Arizona wing Pelle Larsson almost immediately took advantage of this opening by snatching the long, defensive rebound on the Heat. Ty Jerome then missed a two-pointer for the Cavaliers to win it in regulation.
Herro had another chance to score for Miami with a pullup three-pointer from 26 feet but could not find the net. When the first quarter came to a halt, Donovan Mitchell of the Cavs just missed a tough 28-foot three-point pullup jumper at the buzzer. Sadly, he did not make the shot.
