The Miami Heat defeated the Sacramento Kings in overtime, 108 - 96, at American Airlines Arena on Tuesday. The Heat (2 - 2) utilized an impressive night from three - fifths of their first unit and a strong defensive effort in overtime to overcome a pair of 30 - point efforts from Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins and notch their 15th consecutive win at home over Sacramento (2 - 3). The hard - fought victory came after Miami blew an 80 - 71 advantage in the final six minutes of regulation. However, Cousins fouled out with 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter, making the path to an eventual win a bit easier for the Heat. Tyler Johnson was particularly effective in the extra period, tallying seven points to help put Sacramento away. Cousins added seven rebounds, four assists and a block to his point total. Gay was even more impressive, hauling in 12 rebounds and adding an assist and a steal while also taking a team - high 24 shots. Arron Afflalo had his best game yet in his new Sacramento digs, collecting 18 points, three rebounds and a steal. Those three players provided the majority of the offense, however, as Matt Barnes and Ty Lawson notably combined for just two points (from Barnes) on 1 - for - 13 shooting. Goran Dragic paced Miami with his second consecutive 25 - point game, and he added eight rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals. Dion Waiters totaled 20 points, four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal, as he continues to serve as a solid source of scoring for the Heat. Hassan Whiteside become only the second player in franchise history to start a season with four straight double - doubles by posting 14 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and a steal, while Luke Babbitt pitched in with 10 points, a rebound and a steal. Johnson's 22 points led the bench, and he added four rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. The Kings next make the trip upstate and pay a visit to the Orlando Magic on Thursday, while the Heat head north to Toronto to take on the Raptors in a Friday night showdown.
