Pelle Larsson's Miami took another victory at home at the Kaseya Center on Tuesday night Swedish time. Cleveland took the game to overtime, but Andrew Wiggins decided by knocking the game home to Miami.
140–138 in the latest game means that Miami has won all five home games played so far for only the third time in club history. The last time they did so was in the 2019–2020 season when they reached the finals, and before that the championship season in 2012–2013.
Pelle Larsson seems to have gotten used to a lot of playing time and got just over 26 minutes on the court against Cleveland. In that time, he managed ten points, two more than what superstar Nikola Jokic achieved in the same number of minutes.
Miami is currently in third place in the Eastern Conference. At the top is another team with a Swedish player. Bobi Klintman's Detroit continues to show form but when the bottom team Washington came to visit, the team had to fight unexpectedly hard for its seventh straight victory.
Klintman played seven minutes in the game and scored three points.
Detroit won 137–135 after overtime.
