At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Heat made more mistakes. The Magic's offense was well sorted out, and the rhythm was controlled by the Magic. However, Heat player Yang scored a lot of points in the chaos. The Heat continued to play with the Magic. After 8 minutes of one quarter, the score difference was within 3 points.

叶 Wiggins is still very motivated by the Heat and has played a lot of strength. Maybe he was infected by Powell's passion and was willing to invest in it. The Heat are expected to go further in the East.
