What happened: Thompson made seven three-pointers, at least 21 points, in Miami's road win Sunday. Antetokounmpo had 29 points, 14 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Bam Adebayo finished with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and Davion Mitchell added 17 points and 11 assists.

Why it matters: Antetokounmpo's 29 points and 14 rebounds topped his 2026-27 averages. Miami acquired him from Milwaukee in June. Mitchell's 11 assists were well above his season average.

By the numbers: 2026-27 averages through 10 games: Antetokounmpo 26.0 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists; Adebayo 16.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists; Mitchell 14.8 points, 7.4 assists; Thompson 14.5 points.

What to watch: Thompson's 14.5 points per game through 10 games is the baseline for his next outing.
