Kevin Durant returned from a knee injury, but it wasn't enough to stop the Nets' slide.
Durant had a 3-point attempt from straightaway that would have given the Nets the lead go in and out with 57 seconds left, and the Heat worked it inside to Adebayo on the ensuing possession for a 111-107 advantage with 35 seconds to go.
Brooklyn was still without Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons on Thursday, so even Durant wasn't enough against the Eastern Conference leaders. Bruce Brown scored 21 points for the Nets, who played a third straight game without coach Steve Nash, who was placed in health and safety protocols Monday. Jacque Vaughn again ran the team.The Heat were without Jimmy Butler , Kyle Lowry and P.J. Tucker on the second night of a back-to-back.
Durant missed 3-pointers on his first two shots, then made his final four of the first quarter for nine points and a 35-23 lead. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra turned to a zone defense and the Heat held the Nets to 17 points and 6-for-28 shooting in the third quarter, taking an 88-84 lead to the fourth.
