Miami Heat guard Jaime Jaquez Jr. (11) goes up for a shot against Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (23) during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Tuesday, March 26, 2024, in Miami.

The Golden State Warriors continued their trend of performing better on the road than at home as they secured a 113-92 victory over the Miami Heat in Miami. Klay Thompson returned to the starting lineup and led the Warriors with 28 points, supported by Jonathan Kuminga's 18 points. The Warriors showcased their dominance in the second half, outscoring the Heat by as many as 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Golden State's strong performance was highlighted by their impressive assist to turnover ratio, with 30 assists and only 12 turnovers recorded in the game. Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins each contributed 17 points to the team's victory, further solidifying the Warriors' position as a formidable force in the league.

Despite missing key players like Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Kevin Love, and Duncan Robinson, the Miami Heat put up a valiant effort with Bam Adebayo leading the team with 24 points. However, Miami struggled offensively, falling to a 2-16 record when scoring less than 103 points in a game.

Thompson's 11 for 20 shooting and 6 of 14 from 3-point range key to victory.
