NEW YORK (AP) — Mikal Bridges scored 24 points, Cam Johnson added 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and the Brooklyn Nets beat a depleted Miami Heat 112-97 on Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak.

Brooklyn got double-digit contributions from all five of its starters. Dorian Finney-Smith scored 16 points, Nic Claxton added 13 and Spencer Dinwiddie finished with 14 points and 11 assists.

Caleb Martin scored 22 points as a reserve and Mexican rookie Jaime Jáquez Jr. scored 18 for the Heat, who rested Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, a night following blowing a 21-point lead and losing to New York in Madison Square Garden.

Miami was also without Duncan Robinson, who missed his second consecutive game with a sprained thumb on his right hand. Early in the fourth quarter, the Heat lost Haywood Highsmith, who tried to block a Dinwiddie layup and fell on his back.

He had to receive help to leave the field.

The Nets shot 50% from the field and made 14 of 39% three-pointers (39%).
