The Miami Heat secured their first victory of the 2026-27 NBA season on October 29, 2026, with Giannis Antetokounmpo playing a key role in the win. The victory came in the team's fifth game of the season, ending an early winless streak.
Antetokounmpo, who joined the Heat with high expectations of immediately making them Eastern Conference contenders, earned his first win in a Miami uniform. The two-time MVP had been anticipated to elevate the team's championship prospects, but the Heat struggled in their first four outings before breaking through.
