The Miami Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 106-100, at American Airlines Arena on Wednesday evening.

The Spurs (17-22) were coming off a win over the Toronto Raptors so they had their confidence quite high entering this matchup, but the Heat (28-12) blocked their attempts of earning another road win against an Eastern Conference contender with a strong performance late in the game that sealed the deal on their favor. Miami jumped ahead in the first quarter with a 24-17 score, but San Antonio turned things around with a 34-27 second quarter and a 26-24 third-period score. San Antonio entered the final 12 minutes of action up by just two points, but the Heat turned things around right on time. A 31-23 fourth quarter allowed Miami to secure a big win over the Spurs, and that result improved their stellar home record to 18-1. Meanwhile, the Spurs fell to 6-13 playing on the road.
