The Los Angeles Clippers beat the Miami Heat 103-95 on Sunday and moved one step away from the lead in the Western Conference. NBA, while Bradley Beal (Suns) scored 43 points in his first visit to his former team, Washington Wizards.
Kawhi Leonard, with 25 points and 11 rebounds, and James Harden (21 points and 11 assists) led the Clippers’ victory on the Heat’s court, who had the last-minute loss of their scoring guard Tyler Herro.
Herro’s absence aggravated the Heat’s outside shooting problems, which only converted 8 of their 30 three-point attempts (26.7%).
Jimmy Butler scored 21 points and Bam Adebayo another 14 with 13 rebounds for Miami, which occupies eighth place in the Eastern Conference with 26 wins and 24 losses.
In the West, the Clippers (33-15) were just one win behind the co-leaders Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder.
