After Damon Jones hit a running jumper to give Miami a 112-110 lead with 32 seconds left, Maggette responded six seconds later with a strong drive past Shaquille O'Neal for a game-tying layup with 26 seconds to play.
Playing their second straight game without floor leader Dwyane Wade, the Heat failed miserably on their next possession and turned it over on a shot-clock violation.
Maggette took the ensuing inbounds pass, and with swingman Shandon Anderson in his face, drained a tough 22-footer from the right side. The Heat never got off a tying shot.
Maggette scored 28 points and Elton Brand had 29 and 13 rebounds for the Clippers, who overcame an early 16-point deficit.
O'Neal scored 39 points to finish a strong road trip and forced the second overtime with a follow shot with two seconds left. He was a season-high 15-of-28 from the line - better than his 47 percent season mark - but missed five late in regulation and in the overtimes.
The Heat fell to 3-1 in overtime games and 2-3 on their trip. They had won 15 of 16 before the swing began.
