The play of the game for the Miami Heat came early in the second quarter when forward Haywood Highsmith blocked a shot.

The Miami Heat’s season record now stands at 1-4 after losing to the Brooklyn Nets 109-105.

By the end of the first half, Miami had a 16-point lead. The best play of the evening came from forward Haywood Highsmith early in the second half.

Dorian Finney-Smith of the Nets drove in the lane with the intention of finishing with a poster. Highsmith, on the other hand, sprang up and made a huge block to stop the dunk. After review, the call that had been ruled a foul was reversed.

In the first quarter, he also made sure to celebrate after making a three-pointer.

Highsmith recorded nine points, four assists, one steal, and one block in the game’s conclusion. He shot 75% from three-point range and achieved success. His effectiveness is critical for a club that struggles to score from beyond the arc.

Highsmith suffered a knee injury during the preseason, therefore this was his first game in the regular season.

Tyler Herro, the outstanding guard, was responsible for the Heat’s continued competitiveness. In addition to five assists and three rebounds, he scored thirty points for the second time. Additionally impressive was All-Star center Bam Adebayo, who finished with 21 points and 14 rebounds on 66.7 percent shooting.

Jimmy Butler, a forward and All-Star for Miami, is still having a disappointing early season. Despite having 20 points and 7 rebounds at the end of the game, he didn’t appear to be an aggressive player.

Highsmith is only one of several players that will be crucial to the Heat’s success in the remaining games of the season.
