Kyle Lowry scored 26 points, Bam Adebayo had 25, Jimmy Butler finished with 20 and Duncan Robinson had 13 for the Heat.
Miami shook off the huge Warriors run — and a huge dust-up during a time-out — to lead briefly in the fourth, then let the game slip away and saw its lead in the Eastern Conference race trimmed to 1-1/2 games over Milwaukee.
