League debutant Francophone was on cloud nine after becoming the first team to beat Nungua Coldstore this season in the league.
However, the fun ride ended with Heat getting the better of Francophone in one of four games played at the Tema Chinese Court.
Do it all Forward Yannick Mbemba missed the game through for Francophone as Heat powered its way to an impressive win.
Ashaiman Lions maintains its top four spot with a61-44 win over Akatsi Rifles after suffering a shock loss in the previous round.
Lions are two time finalists and are gearing up for another postseason run which starts later this month; Rifles are likely to miss out following the loss.
Coldstore clinched a routine win but the biggest result was Teshie Vikings 59-58 win over home side Tema Community 4.
This is the second straight loss for defending champions in as many weeks.
