Dion Waiters hits game-winning 3-pointer to put Heat over the Warriors

Waiters scored a career-high 33 points on the night.

The Warriors were riding a seven-game win streak heading into Miami but Dion Waiters had other plans on Monday night. Waiters scored 33 points on the night, hitting six three-pointers and leading the Heat over the Warriors, 105-102. His final three-pointer came with 0.6 seconds left to put the Heat ahead for good after Kevin Durant had tied the game.

Just moments earlier, Waiters hit another three keeping the Warriors at bay. Pun intended.

This is the second game in a row that Waiters has scored 33 points for the Heat. The second 33-point game for Waiters ties his career-high, which he set in the previous game.

Miami is currently second to last in the Eastern Conference and has had an underwhelming year for the most part after losing Dwyane Wade in free agency and Chris Bosh due to health concerns. That said, the Heat are now on a four-game winning streak and seem to have found somewhat of a groove.
