With the loss, Miami is now 27-33 on the season and has a 13-19 mark on the road.

Hassan Whiteside did what he could to avoid the loss, but it turned out not to be enough. Whiteside added yet another double-double to his season totals, with 19 points and 19 rebounds. The center also added a block and a steal to fill the stat sheet as usual.

Goran Dragic had 24 points of his own, and also contributed six assists along the way. Dragic added three steals on a day that the Heat had 12 swipes as a team overall.

Off the bench, Tyler Johnson continued his excellent work with ten points. Johnson has been one of Miami's most consistent players this season, and has been a constant source of production off the bench. Johnson also added three rebounds, four assists and three steals.

After the Heat take a day off, the Philadelphia 76ers will visit Miami on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
