Dwyane Wade was exhausted. Erik Spoelstra was nauseated. Goran Dragic was already sore when the game ended. And the Miami Heat weren’t complaining in the least, not after winning the most back-and-forth game so far in this NBA season.

Wade scored 28 points, including two free throws with 1.5 seconds left that put Miami ahead to stay, and the Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-95 on Thursday night in a wild, back-and-forth game that featured 38 lead changes and 11 ties.
