At the morning shootaround, Heat coach Pat Riley was asked if he was troubled by the illness that was making its way through the team. “No, we don’t get sick at this time,” Riley said. “We don’t.” Dwyane Wade was reportedly feeling much better with his sinus infection from earlier in the week.

Black continues to shoulder more of the scoring workload for the Magic with Franz Wagner (ankle) still on the shelf, scoring 20-plus points in five of his last six games. He poured in 16 first-half points, hitting 3-of-5 from downtown, while the rest of the Magic went an absurd 0-for-13 from three-point range. He converted a clutch layup with 1:06 left in regulation to put Orlando in front during a back-and-forth slugfest that came down the wire. The Magic are back in action when they kick off a four-game week on Monday against the Raptors.

Murray shot the lights out in the first half, draining 7-of-13, including 2-of-5 from beyond the arc, to finish with a game-high 16 points. He hit a driving floater with 37 seconds left to put Denver back in front but wound up missing a fadeaway at the buzzer.
