The Miami Heat’s season-long five-game West Coast trip that spanned 10 days on the road is finally over.

But it didn’t end the way the Heat wаnted it to, falling 113-97 to the Phoenix Suns (19-16) on Friday night at Footprint Center. Instead of clinching a winning trip, the Heat (20-15) completed the five-game trip at 2-3 after Friday’s defeat.

Before the Suns blew the game open, the first half was a competitive one that included 14 lead changes and six ties.

The Suns eventually entered halftime with a 62-55 lead behind 23 first-half points from Grayson Allen. Phoenix outscored Miami 30-18 from three-point range over the first two quarters behind 10-of-21 (47.6 percent) shooting from behind the arc.

The Suns then took control of the game and never looked back, outscoring the Heat 32-20 in the third quarter to enter the final period with a commanding 19-point lead.

While the Suns shot 12-of-20 (60 percent) from the field in the third quarter, the Heat shot just 7 of 24 (29.2 percent) from the field and 2 of 12 (16.7 percent) on threes in the period despite getting a bunch of clean looks.

“I really liked the way we were playing,” Spoelstra said. “In all the huddles, I was just reiterating: ‘Play the right way offensively. Just trust it.’ If guys are open and you’re getting to your аggressive аttаck paint touches, we were making the right plays. A lot of those were wide open threes. It’s the right play. And I’m encouraged that we continued to do that even throughout the misses.”

The Heat was never to make a run to get back into the game, though, trailing the entire fourth quarter by double digits. The Suns led by as many as 21 points in the final period.

“I feel like it slipped away because we didn’t make shots,” Heat center Bam Adebayo said. “I feel like we were getting great shots, getting great looks. They just weren’t going in.”

Three Suns players finished with 20-plus points — Allen scored 31 points, Bradley Beal scored 25 points and Devin Booker scored 20 points. Allen shot 9 of 14 from three-point range, as his nine made threes set a new career-high and tied the Suns’ franchise record.

“We were just never able to really control the game defensively and get it in the mud,” Spoelstra said, “which that’s what would have been required to get this game.”

The Heat were led by Adebayo, who closed with 28 points on 11-of-19 shooting from the field and 6-of-8 shooting from the foul line and 11 rebounds.

Kevin Love added 29 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field and 3-of-6 shooting on threes, seven rebounds and two assists off the Heat’s bench.

The Heat, which entered with the NBA’s second-best team three-point percentage this season at 38.8 percent, shot an inefficient 10 of 37 (27 percent) from three-point range in the loss. It marked Miami’s second-worst single-game three-point shooting percentage of the season.

The Heat dropped to 4-8 this season when shooting worse than 35 percent from three-point range.

The Heat now returns to Miami to begin a four-game homestand on Monday against the Houston Rockets.
