Kendrick Nunn had a season-high 30 points and added eight assists and seven rebounds, leading the short-handed Miami Heat to a 113-91 win over the visiting Houston Rockets on Monday night.
Miami, which won its second straight game, was without perhaps its four most talented players: Jimmy Butler (ankle injury); Bam Adebayo (knee); Victor Oladipo (knee); and Tyler Herro (foot).
Those players combine to average 67 points per game this season. But the Heat still had enough firepower without them, as Duncan Robinson and Goran Dragic added 19 points each.
