MIAMI — Goran Dragic emerged from the shower, looked at the crowd around Dion Waiters, one that spilled over to the front of his locker.

“That’s OK,” Dragic said when he looked at the scrum. “He deserves it.”

Waiters, the Heat’s maligned guard, hit a straight-on 25-foot 3-pointer with .06 seconds remaining to give Miami a stunning 105-102 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday, stretching the Heat’s winning streak to a season- high four games.

Waiters fifinished with 33 points, equaling his career high, which he tied Saturday against Milwaukee.

“I don’t shy away from those type of shots,” Waiters said. It felt good to see it go in.”

Miami (15-30) upset a Warriors (38-7) team with the best record in the NBA, one that leads the league in scoring and entered Monday with seven straight wins, including the last fifive by at least 17 points, a franchise-best streak.
