Josh Christopher, Pelle Larsson Lead Miami Heat To Summer League Title Game
The Miami Heat avenged their only loss of the summer, a California Classic defeat to the Golden State Warriors by clawing back to defeat the Warriors 102-99 Sunday night in NBA 2K25 action at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
The Heat will take on the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night at 8 p.m. for their first ever summer league championship. Should the Heat win Monday night, they will be awarded with championship rings and a trophy.
“We always want to win,” Heat summer league coach Dan Bisaccio said after the game. “So no matter what, when we have an opportunity to win a championship, of course we’re going for it. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer league, it doesn’t matter if it’s some kind of spring ball. Whatever it is, we’re always going to want an opportunity to compete for a championship.”
Miami was trailing by ten points in the third quarter before they turned the game around. Miami went on a 27-11 run to grab a temporary lead in the fourth quarter. The game was at issue until the waning seconds.
Josh Christopher had another big fourth quarter as he scored 13 of his team-high 23 points in the final stanza. He had a big three-point play with 40 seconds left to give Miami the lead they would not relinquish.
“We’re not done, obviously this was a big win,” Christopher said. “Our goal is the same, to win a championship. I’m really just honing in on a road that impacts winning and we are doing that as a unit.”
Pelle Larsson added 21 points, six assists, four rebounds and four steals. The game marked the first time this summer that the guard went over the 20-point mark. Kel’el Ware continued his domination of the summer league with 18 points and five rebounds.
Warriors former first-round pick Kevin Knox II scored a game high 31 points to pace Golden State.

Girl, 12, shot while sitting in parked car in northwest Miami-Dade, deputies say
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
