Miami Heat’s Overtime Victory Earns Them NBA Summer League Championship
The Miami Heat fanbase can finally celebrate during their rather dull offseason, as the team won the NBA Summer League championship on Monday.
The Heat defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in an overtime thriller, hitting the target score of 120. It was former first-round pick Josh Christopher who delivered when it mattered most, drilling a stepback three-pointer with the Grizzlies just two points shy of sealing the game.
He finished the night with 24 points, four rebounds, three steals, and a pair of blocks on 6 of 10 shooting from the arc. Christopher was awarded MVP honors for the championship game. Second-round pick Pelle Larsson delivered the game-ending shot on a tough drive to the basket, which was immediately followed by celebration. Larsson recorded 16 points and four assists in Monday’s game, but played an even more crucial role for the Heat to reach the championship.
Rookie Kel’el Ware and athletic forward Alondes Williams also contributed at a high level, combining for 42 points and 15 rebounds on efficient shooting. Ware’s campaign in Las Vegas earned him a spot on the All-Summer League First Team while rising star Jaime Jaquez Jr. appeared on the second.
While this is not the championship fans were hoping to see, it’s refreshing to know the Heat’s future is full of potential.

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.
