Andrew Wiggins’ Double-Double Helps Miami Heat Beat Phoenix Suns, 111-102, to End Road Trip

Heat finish longest trip at 3-2 after overcoming travel delay and a short turnaround

The Miami Heat closed their longest road trip of the season with a 111-102 win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, January 25, 2026, completing a 3-2 swing that ended in Arizona after a Saturday night game in Utah. Miami’s victory came despite an overnight travel delay that left the team arriving in Phoenix in the early morning hours.

Bam Adebayo led Miami with 22 points, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 20, including 18 after halftime. Andrew Wiggins recorded a 10-point, 10-rebound performance, marking his first double-double of the season. Norman Powell added 16 points and 10 rebounds.

Fourth-quarter separation decided a game defined by missed shots and second-chance pressure

After a tight middle stretch, Miami created decisive separation early in the fourth quarter. A 3-pointer from Jaquez capped a 19-6 run that pushed the Heat’s lead to 101-83 with 6:35 remaining. Phoenix did not get closer than nine points the rest of the way.

Miami’s edge reflected both shot-making at key moments and consistent pressure on the glass. The Heat finished with a rebounding advantage and generated extra possessions through offensive rebounds and physical interior play, helping offset modest shooting efficiency from the field.

Phoenix short-handed without Devin Booker as offense stalls

The Suns played without leading scorer Devin Booker, who suffered a right ankle sprain in the third quarter of a Friday loss in Atlanta. Booker is scheduled to be re-evaluated in one week. Phoenix was also without Jalen Green, who exited that Atlanta game after experiencing pain in his second game back from a lengthy hamstring absence.

Without Booker’s team-leading scoring, Phoenix struggled to find consistent perimeter production. The Suns shot 37% overall and 7-of-35 from three-point range, while Miami limited clean looks and repeatedly ended possessions with rebounds.

• Dillon Brooks led Phoenix with 26 points.
• Grayson Allen scored 18 but went 4-of-18 from the floor, including 1-of-11 from three.

What the result means going forward

The win gives Miami a road-trip finish that stabilizes momentum after a demanding stretch of travel and back-to-back games. For Phoenix, the loss came in its first home game following a 12-day, six-game trip, with roster availability now a central variable as the team enters an upcoming home-heavy schedule.

Final score: Miami Heat 111, Phoenix Suns 102 (January 25, 2026).
