The Miami Heat used that burst of energy and a franchise-record 53-point first quarter en route to a 126-108 NBA Cup victory Friday night. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">JAIME JAQUEZ JR 🤯</p><p>Broke his ankles AND got the poster!</p><p> <a href="https://t.co/w7OGM5WwmT">pic.twitter.com/w7OGM5WwmT</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1986997477694673289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 8, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The sequence came early, when Jaquez crossed up James with a quick shimmy, blew by him into the lane, and finished with authority over help defenders, a one-handed slam that sent the Kaseya Center into orbit and punctuated Miami’s opening-quarter assault. The clip dominated social feeds and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/miami-heat/heat-news-jaime-jaquez-jr-remarkable-metrics-push-miami-contention-atop-east">highlighted why Jaquez keeps surfacing in highlight reels.</a>  </p><p>Jaquez finished with a <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401809775" rel="noopener">well-rounded line</a>: 18 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists, doing damage as a playmaker as much as a finisher off the bench. The Heat shot 51.5% as a team and poured in 53 points in the first quarter via the ESPN Box score, the most in franchise history and one of the biggest opening bursts in NBA play.  </p><p>Charlotte kept fighting, the Hornets cut into the margin at times and forced Miami to reinsert its starters, but the early onslaught built a gap the visitors couldn’t close. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/miami-heat/heat-news-how-new-improved-offense-inspired-former-grizzlies-coach">Miami’s balance showed up</a> across the box score, with several players scoring in double figures and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/miami-heat/heat-news-what-erik-spoelstra-miami-appreciates-about-bench-amidst-early-success">the bench providing a spark</a> behind Jaquez’s highlight.  </p><p>For Sion James, the dunk will live on social timelines; for Jaquez, it’s another reminder he’s comfortable making big plays in big moments. The third-year Heat player is really making a name for himself.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
