What is the biggest 4th quarter collapse in Miami Heat history?

The largest lead the Miami Heat have blown in the 4th quarter is 22 points, which they've done twice. The most recent 22 point blown lead in the 4th quarter was on Aug 12, 2020, when the Heat were ahead 104-82 in the 4th quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and lost the game 115-116.

NBA play-by-play data only goes back to the 1996-97 season, and thus most blown leads before that season are approximated based on the box score, which might underestimate what the true largest lead was. These are labeled with a yellow underline. Read more details about historical NBA comebacks on our accuracy and fact checking page.
