Powell Leads Heat Scoring with 18 Points, Struggles from Three-Point Range

Miami Heat's Norman Powell registered 18 points (7-21 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists, and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 129-116 loss to Boston. He finished as Miami's second-leading scorer but accounted for 10 of the Heat's 30 missed three-pointers, his most in a game since March 2024. Despite this off night, Powell has been the Heat's primary offensive option in games without Tyler Herro (toe), a role expected to continue for Sunday's game against the Knicks if Herro remains sidelined.
