Luka Doncic achieved a season high of 33 points for the Mavericks, who lost for the first time in four home games.
Jalen Brunson added 25 points on his first start of the season from injuries that sidelined big Dallas stars Kristaps Porzingis and Maxi Kleber.
Miami was leading 97-81 2:12 to play in the third quarter when Dallas began its run. The Mavericks moved into fourth-third within 101-95 two minutes before the heat put them off the track.
Porzingis missed his fourth game in a row with a tight lower back. Kleber, who started Sunday’s win against Sacramento in Porzingis’ place, left the game late in the first half and will be out for 7-10 days with a left oblique load.
TEST PROBLEMS
Seasoned Mavericks security guard Trey Burke, who is not vaccinated, missed the COVID-19 test window for the second time in four games and was unavailable, forfeiting another game check. Coach Jason Kidd said Burke will be traveling with the team for Wednesday night’s game in San Antonio.

TIP-INS

Doncic added 5,283 to Kidds 5,258 in eight Dallas seasons. … Duncan Robinson has scored 3 points in 55 consecutive games starting on February 11th. It is the second longest series in the history of the franchise after Robinsons 57, running straight from November 25, 2019 to August 12, 2020.
