PHOENIX (AP) — Victor Oladipo scored a season-high 26 points, Bam Adebayo added 21 points and 11 rebounds and the Miami Heat beat the Phoenix Suns 104-96 on Friday night. The Heat and Suns entered the game with the same record, but are heading in opposite directions. Miami has won nine of its last 13. Phoenix dropped to .500 for the season and has lost five in a row, eight of nine and 13 of 17. The banged-up Suns were already without several key players because of injuries, including three-time All-Star Devin Booker, Cam Johnson and Cam Payne, and lost Chris Paul left in the second quarter because of right hip soreness. Deandre Ayton led the Suns with 23 points and 14 rebounds.
