Larsson scored 16 points as Miami fell to reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder

Swedish basketball star Pelle Larsson scored 16 points, but his Miami Heat are in a slump. The 112–124 away loss to the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder was Miami's third straight defeat in the NBA.

Larsson started his fourth straight game after suffering a foot injury for the second time this season. He played nearly 28 minutes and, in addition to scoring 16 points, had three assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block. He was Miami's third-leading scorer in the game.

Miami led by five points at halftime, but when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, in particular, got going for the home team, Oklahoma took a comfortable victory.

Miami is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference after 20 wins and 19 losses.
