Miami may have finally put an end to questions with a 112-99 win over Memphis today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Cordner was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Memphis. Cordner let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.

Miami was led by Cordner (15 points, 13 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Hargrove (20 points, 1 assists, 2 blocks), Durham (17 points, 1 assists). Memphis was led by Smith (24 points, 5 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals), Edwards (17 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Burker (7 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, a block).

After the victory, Miami improve to 3-2 and 2-0 at home. They remain at #2 in the Southeast and move up to #5 overall in the Eastern Conference. Memphis fall to 1-3 with the loss. They hold at #5 in the Southwest and hold at #14 overall in the Western Conference.
