Nothing like playing a team in the cellar to boost the numbers. It was the first meeting since Bam Adebayo’s 83-point outburst on March 10, and the Heat’s bench crew got the extra time in the tune-up win. They scored 142.1 points per 100 possessions, good enough for the 99th percentile, per Cleaning the […]
The Celtics stained Pat Riley Court with an 18-point blowout. It was like watching a cyclist try to keep up with a Ferrari, only catching up within a mile when the driver pulled over for gas. Jaylen Brown was unrestrainable as he sliced to the cup for layups and buried pull-up jumpers. The Celtics […]
There wasn’t much separation through three quarters, and the teams were desperate to climb out of Play-In Tournament territory. Aside from some relief minutes given to Kel’el Ware, the team was playing six guys while their 3-point shooting was not a factor. Then Tyler Herro was the best player on the floor in the […]
The Heat folded in Indiana, where the Pacers were on an 11-game home losing streak stretching back to Feb. 2. There was no bigger issue than the defense, which allowed the Pacers to score in the 88th percentile, per Cleaning the Glass. Keep in mind that they struggled against the team trying to lose, […]
Sebastian Fundora’s advantages in height (nine inches) and reach (11 inches) over Keith Thurman were too difficult a code to crack. The latter couldn’t get close enough, and referee Thomas Tyler stopped it before his face turned from bruised and cut to disfigured. The challenger ate a straight left hand in the opening 10 […]
The five-game losing streak ended in Cleveland in game one of the miniseries. The defense derailed one of the top attacks in the league, and they prevented the Cavaliers from having success on second opportunities. The Heat’s seven three-pointers and a few slips into the lane sustained them in the first quarter, as they […]
The quest to avoid the Play-In Tournament took its fifth-straight setback as the San Antonio Spurs sullied Kaseya Center. The visitors were too big, strong and fast for the Miami Heat at full force on primetime TV. Both offenses were firing like machine guns and it took more than half of the first quarter […]
The WBC’s middleweight belt didn’t change hands. Carlos Adames’ trunks had “destroy” and “demolish” written on the front plus backside, and he lived up to that, being too strong for his challenger, who looked like he’d gone through oblivion inside Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. The strongest Austin “Ammo” Williams looked was in the […]
The Heat didn’t have enough horsepower to hang with Luka Dončić and LeBron James despite the close result. The former had the highest scoring game against the Miami Heat in history by an opponent, and the hosts were also significantly smaller, being unable to contain dribble penetration. Dončić bent the defense to his liking […]
Call it luck, or the Orlando Magic being an unserious team, but the Miami Heat’s quest for a postseason spot to avoid the Play-In Tournament is not over. Both Southeast division rivals have lost two in a row, and they have to be careful since the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets want the same thing, […]
