The Miami Heat delivered a stunning performance on Wednesday, humiliating the Los Angeles Lakers with a 134-93 victory. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks snapped the Milwaukee Bucks’ seven-game win streak with a 119-104 win, highlighting some exciting action in the NBA.

Tyler Herro Shines in Heat’s Blowout of Lakers

Miami guard Tyler Herro was the star of the game as the Heat ran riot against the Lakers. Herro scored 31 points, with 21 of them coming in the explosive third quarter, hitting a franchise-record-tying seven three-pointers in the period. The Heat finished with 24 three-pointers, equaling their franchise record, and were led by Jimmy Butler (17 points) and Bam Adebayo, who contributed 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. The Heat also set a franchise record with 42 assists in the blowout.

“I think we came into this game with great energy,” Adebayo said. “You see what happened.” Despite an early 17-point halftime lead, Herro’s third-quarter explosion left the Lakers struggling to keep up.

For the Lakers, it was another tough night. They were coming off a 29-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves and appeared lifeless on both ends of the floor. First-year coach JJ Redick expressed disappointment, saying, “I’m embarrassed, we’re all embarrassed. There has to be some ownership.” LeBron James led the Lakers with 29 points but couldn’t stop the team’s skid, as the Lakers have now lost six of their last eight games.

Hawks Halt Bucks’ Streak

In another exciting matchup, the Atlanta Hawks handed the Milwaukee Bucks their first loss in eight games with a 119-104 victory. Jalen Johnson led the Hawks with 23 points and 13 rebounds, while De’Andre Hunter added 20 points off the bench. Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s impressive 31 points, the Bucks couldn’t hold on to their early 10-point lead, and the Hawks never trailed after taking the lead late in the first quarter.

The Bucks, who have been dominant throughout the season, failed to capitalize on a strong start and couldn’t find an answer for the Hawks’ offensive balance. This victory marked the Hawks’ fifth straight win and continued their rise in the Eastern Conference.

Celtics Overcome Injuries to Beat Pistons

In another notable game, the Boston Celtics proved their depth by defeating the Detroit Pistons 130-120, despite missing both Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday due to knee injuries. Jaylen Brown stepped up, leading the Celtics with 28 points and nine assists. Brown’s scoring surge in the first half, including 23 points, set the tone for Boston’s wire-to-wire victory.

Kristaps Porzingis added 26 points and nine rebounds, helping the Celtics weather a late rally from the Pistons, who were led by Cade Cunningham (27 points, nine rebounds, 14 assists) and Tobias Harris (27 points).

Magic Beat Shorthanded Sixers

The Orlando Magic bounced back from a tough loss to the New York Knicks by defeating a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers team 106-102. The 76ers, missing stars Paul George and Joel Embiid, made a late push, cutting a 10-point deficit to just one in the final seconds. However, the Magic sealed the victory with clutch free throws from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Franz Wagner, and Jalen Suggs.

Franz Wagner led Orlando with a game-high 35 points, while Jared McCain led the 76ers with 24 points in a losing effort.
