Oladipo started and did a little of everything in his first game with the Heat, finishing with six points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals. 

“My teammates were really helpful tonight,” Oladipo said. 

The Warriors got off to a cold start, missing 11 of their first 13 shots, and found themselves in the lead after Miami went icy itself later in the opening period. The Warriors never led by more than five, and while the Heat offense was up and down, the defense was a constant. Miami forced 20 turnovers and turned them into 27 points. 

“Maybe, at times, we got rushed,” Wiggins said. “Couple bad decisions, that’s what it came down to.” 

Oladipo became the 262^nd player to appear for Miami, the 189th to start. Miami led 59-54 at the break, ending a streak of seven consecutive Heat halftime deficits. It was the longest string of Miami trailing at intermissions since an eight-game run late in the 2007-08 season.
