The Heat, who played without Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson , were led by Tyler Herro with 21 points, seven boards and six assists. Bones Hyland scored a career-high 37 points and added nine assists, and Brandon Boston Jr. had 23 points for the Clippers. Los Angeles was without Kawhi Leonard for the sixth consecutive game, and Paul George , James Harden and Russell Westbrook were given the day off.Bobby Portis finished with 30 points, nine boards and five steals and Damian Lillard added 29 points to lead Milwaukee past visiting Orlando.

The Hornets scored the game's final four points in the last 30 seconds, with Miller sinking two free throws and then Miles Bridges scoring in the lane with 3.8 seconds left. Charlotte's Tre Mann stole the ball from Trent Forrest to seal the stunning outcome.
