The Heat lead 72-69 at the end of the third quarter but were outscored 23-16 in the fourth with Parker sealing the victory with a superb basket just as the shot clock was running out.
Frenchman Parker had a game high 21 points with six assists while Miami's LeBron James, the league's Most Valuable Player, had his lowest scoring game in this postseason with 18.
