Norman Powell Explodes for 32 Points — He’s Powering the Heat’s Rise in the East

The Miami Heat just picked up their fourth straight win, beating the 76ers 127–117 — and once again, the headline was Norman Powell. Powell went off for 32 points on 11/18 shooting (4/7 from deep), adding 4 rebounds and 2 steals. His efficiency was ridiculous — 61% from the field, 57% from three — and he led a trio of 20-point scorers as Miami rolled on the road. And this isn’t a one-game spike. For the season, Powell is sitting at: 25.4 PPG · 50% FG · 46.4% 3PT · +6.2 with eight 25+ games already and career highs across nine different categories. Miami barely changed their roster from last year — the one real addition was Powell. That single move has completely shifted their ceiling. The Heat are now 10–4, quietly up to third in the East, and Powell is playing like a legitimate top-tier scorer. Here’s the wild part: In Heat history, only LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have ever averaged 25+ in a season. Norman Powell is currently on pace to become the third. #NormanPowell #Miami #HeatCulture #NBA #HeatNation #ScoringMachine
