Jaime Jaquez Jr.

With the Heat's stars resting for Wednesday's play-in clash, the second-year forward Jaime Jaquez Jr seized his opportunity to showcase the explosive drives that made him a first-round selection. This powerful running dunk punctuated what would become a career-high 41-point explosion, as Jaquez relentlessly attacked the rim throughout an afternoon where Miami desperately needed someone to step forward. The UCLA product had endured a challenging sophomore campaign, but in front of 19,968 fans at Kaseya Center, he reminded everyone of his first-round pedigree. What followed was a masterful display of versatility and aggression, as Jaquez carved up Washington's defense with drives, mid-range pull-ups, and timely three-pointers, finishing with 41 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in what ultimately became a heartbreaking 119-118 defeat.
