Miami's high-powered offense lit up the scoreboard — 145 points is no joke! 🔥
The Miami Heat came out absolutely blazing on Friday night, dropping a massive 145 points on the visiting Indiana Pacers to win 145–125 in NBA Cup Group Play action. That's the highest-scoring game of the entire night by a mile, and it shows that the Heat — despite sitting at just 2–4 on the season — are capable of turning on a completely different gear when they want to.
Indiana's Pacers put up 125 themselves, which is no slouch total, but Miami just had way too many bullets in the chamber. The Heat now move to 3–4 overall, with something to prove in the NBA Cup Group Play. The Pacers slip to 2–4 and will need to regroup fast. This was the kind of Halloween-eve treat that NBA fans couldn't look away from!
It was a BIG night all across the NBA Cup with 10 games on the slate. Other wild results included the Denver Nuggets knocking off the Phoenix Suns on the road (127–120) and the Minnesota Timberwolves crushing the L.A. Clippers 127–101. Oh — and the Golden State Warriors sent the Lakers home with a 112–95 L. LeBron and company are now 4–2, so they're still fine, but the Warriors (3–3) are sending a message!
Ten games, tons of action, and a whole lot of points on Halloween Eve! The NBA Cup Group Play is heating up across all six divisions. Here's every final score from Friday night:
Two European league games were on the docket Friday. In La Liga, Espanyol pulled off a 1–0 upset on the road at Villarreal — a gutsy result for the visitors! Over in Germany's Bundesliga, Elversberg put on a show by hammering Mainz 4–1 at home. Big win for the home side there!
🏈 NFL
No NFL games on Friday — the league plays mostly on Sundays (and some Mondays & Thursdays). But the season is very much alive! Check out the standings in the sidebar. The Minnesota Vikings are still undefeated at 6–0 — can anyone stop them?! Games return this Sunday, November 1.
⚾ MLB
Baseball's regular season wrapped up and the postseason is done too. The diamond is quiet for now. Teams are already scouting, making trades, and signing free agents to get ready for Spring Training 2027. No games to report — but the hot stove league is always cooking! ☕
🏀 College Basketball
College hoops is right around the corner! Most programs tip off their 2026–27 season in early November — meaning games could start literally any day now. Keep your eyes peeled, Jacob. March Madness feels far away, but it starts with games like these!
