Andrew Wiggins experienced a memorable night during the Miami Heat's 120-111 road win against the Toronto Raptors, marking his first NBA victory in Toronto after previously losing six games there. Raised in the Toronto area, this win holds special significance for him. Wiggins, traded to Miami from the Golden State Warriors in a deal involving Jimmy Butler, had his best performance with 25 points, eight rebounds, and key contributions in the final moments, particularly 13 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, leading the Heat's scoring effort.
"This is my first win in this building? There's no way," a surprised but soft-spoken Wiggins said when told that by a reporter following the Heat's 120-111 overtime victory on Friday to kick off its post-All-Star break schedule and open a three-game trip.
"I didn't know that. That's pretty crazy," Wiggins added, reflecting on the significance of his first win in Toronto after six losses.
Wiggins' best and most important work came down the stretch of Friday's tight game, totaling 13 points between the fourth quarter and overtime period.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra praised Wiggins, emphasizing the importance of his late-game contributions that secured the victory.
