Powell overcame a 2-of-7 performance at the free-throw line by converting 10-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-8 on 3-pointers.

Wiggins reached 15,000 career points with his lay-up early in the third quarter.

With the game out of reach late and 1:19 remaining in the fourth quarter, Memphis’ Scotty Pippen Jr. charged at Miami’s Myron Gardner and shoved him near the first row. Both fell to the floor and briefly wrestled before they were separated and ejected.

After leading by five at halftime, the Heat pulled away when they outscored the Grizzlies 39-26 in the third quarter. Powell and Jakucionis each scored nine in the period. Jacquez’s bank shot with 1:19 remaining in the quarter gave the Heat their first 20-point lead at 109-89.

Despite committing 18 turnovers, the Heat finished with 36 assists.

GG Jackson scored a season-high 28 points, Jaylen Wells added 25, Pippen had 18 and Ty Jerome finished with 17 for the Grizzlies, who have lost 11 of 14.

Memphis stayed within distance in the first half by connecting on nine 3-pointers.

The Grizzlies again were without star guard Ja Morant (left elbow sprain), who missed his 13th consecutive game. Santi Aldama, Cedric Coward and Kyle Anderson are all dealing with knee issues and also sat out for Memphis.

Davion Mitchell (illness) and Nikola Jovic (back) didn’t play for the Heat.

PHOENIX (AP) — Jalen Green hit a 3-pointer from the right corner at the buzzer to give the Phoenix Suns a 113-110 double-overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday.

After Jalen Carter tied it for Orlando with 1.1 seconds left with a corner 3, Green hit all net from the corner as the horn sounded. Green struggled all game until that final shot, making only 6 for 26 from the field and 2 of 6 free throws. His winning basket was just his second successful 3 in 11 attempts.

Grayson Allen led Phoenix with 27 points after after missing four games because of a sprained right ankle. He scored all seven of the Suns' points in the first overtime. Collin Gillespie added 19 points, and Green had 16.

Desmond Bane had 34 points for Orlando on 12-of-18 shooting before fouling out in the first minute of overtime. Paolo Banchero added 26 points and 14 rebounds. The Magic had won four of five.

The Suns played without Devin Booker, who is out for at least a week with a right hip strain.

Dillon Brooks played just seven minutes before leaving with what the team said was a left-hand injury. ESPN reported, citing sources, that Brooks' hand is broken and that the forward will miss significant time. The team said it wouldn't have an official update until Sunday.

The Magic scored the last six points of regulation, the last two on Anthony Black's dunk with 57 seconds to play.

Jordan Goodwin scored 17 points off the bench for the Suns before hobbling off the court in the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury. Oso Ighodaro had 11 points and 12 rebounds for Phoenix.

Orlando tarting guard Jalen Suggs was sidelined by back spasms.

Magic: At Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.

Suns: Host Portland on Sunday night.
