Heat Fall to 0 4 Despite Giannis Triple Double

The Heat fell to 0-4 after a 113-109 loss to the Mavericks on Monday, even with Giannis Antetokounmpo posting a triple-double and throwing down a poster dunk on Daniel Gafford. Miami had a chance late, but Cooper Flagg blocked Andrew Wiggins’ go-ahead attempt, then hit a layup to put Dallas up four with 10 seconds left. Flagg kept building on his strong second season with playmaking and defense, while Kyrie Irving had a solid night as he ramps back up after missing all of 2025-26. Miami entered the season with Finals hopes, but the offense outside Giannis hasn’t given them enough through four games.
