Miami has one of the best home records in the NBA for a reason. They added to their South Beach resume with a win over the best team in the league.

Markelle Fultz has shown flashes of why he was chosen No.1 overall a few years back. He likely will never become an All-Star player he once had the potential to be, but as a consistent playmaker on offense, he can carve out a 15+ year playing career.
