Heat subdue Warriors 116-109 in Miami

Wiggins had a hot start...but the good vibes couldn't last.

A fun first half of Golden State Warriors basketball slipped away on the road as the Miami Heat surged to a 116-109 victory.

Here’s some quotes from our poppin’ LGW gamethread along with some choice tweets.

1Q - Warriors 24, Heat 23

Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron

END OF Q1: Warriors up 24-23 on the Heat. Andrew Wiggins, who has been sensational for weeks, has a game-high eight points so far.

Daniel Hardee: How many triples does Wiggins have to hit before you all believe

Warriors on NBCS @NBCSWarriors

Steph fell right on his injured tailbone

The Sword of the Morning: Steph is the definition of warrior. There is no one in NBA history I’d rather have being the face of the franchise.

Sabrinasez: Bad ass comment. 🔥

Abbadon: Stephs ass is literally bad

Halftime - Heat 59, Warriors 54

Joe Viray @JoeVirayNBA

Warriors at the half vs. MIA Possessions: 49 ORTG: 110.2 DRTG: 118.4 Dubs have 11 TOs converted into 16 points off TOs by the Heat. They've also been fouling a lot; Heat are 16-of-19 on FTs. Heat defense is tough, Dubs should find more opportunities to punish that switching D.

Warriors on NBCS @NBCSWarriors

Wiggins is on fire from deep 🔥

OGG Gurl: Wiggs is ON FIRE 🔥

Juicy Jay: Andrew Thriggins

Belilaugh: Wiggins is a killer lol, what the (censored)

Arash: Curry is like "Is that you KD?"

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater

Andrew Wiggins 5 of 6 from 3 in the first half, now 35 of 60 from 3 since the All-Star break. He could miss his next 10 and still be 50 percent.

3Q - Heat 86, Warriors 81

Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron

END OF Q3: Warriors trail the Heat, 86-81. Fouls and turnovers are really hurting Golden State.

Servantofluna: 11-4 run to start the quarter for the Warriors. And the Heat counter with a 20-10 run.

Dan goutz: It's weird how quick a potential tie game can end up an 8 point deficit

Doublebang: There's times where "Wiseman only played three games in college" takes a whole new meaning. This is one of them.

Final - Warriors 116, Heat 109

Warriors on NBCS @NBCSWarriors

Jordan Poole was taken out of the game after rolling his left ankle

TonyTown: Steph looking butt hurt but it may just be his butt hurts.

Alex: One of the big upsides for Chriss on this roster... Warriors need someone who will simply return the same physicality when they're getting punked with a lot of holds and swipes and refs are only calling things one way.

rcknfn: Lol.. Iggy on Steph 3.

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater

Now it appears Kevon Looney rolled his left ankle a couple minutes later. He's going to the locker room. Painful game for the Warriors in Miami.

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater

Jordan Poole just rolled his left ankle. In some pain. Needed to leave the game.
