Heat – Timberwolves 124-125
Nikola Jović Posts 16 Points in Heat's 124-125 Preseason Loss
Nikola Jović scored 16 points as the Miami Heat fell 124-125 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a preseason exhibition. He logged 25 minutes on the court and finished with a shooting line of 7-of-11 from the field, including a perfect 2-of-2 from three-point range. He attempted one free throw and missed, finishing 0-of-1 from the stripe.
Jović also contributed six rebounds, split evenly between three offensive and three defensive boards, and added three assists. He recorded three steals, committed three turnovers, and was charged with two personal fouls. While he was on the floor, the Heat were outscored by three points, as reflected in his -3 plus-minus rating.
The 6-foot-10 Miami Heat player posted a well-rounded stat line, but the narrow margin shows the effort was not enough to secure a win in the exhibition. The loss does not affect the Heat’s regular-season record, but Jović’s efficient shooting and active defensive numbers stand out in the preseason matchup.
