Some Heat notes on a Thursday night:
• Yet another Hassan Whiteside feat dug up by the Elias Sports Bureau:
His 20 points and 17 rebounds in Miami’s win over the Pelicans on Wednesday night marked the 17th time that Whiteside, who was selected in the second round of the 2010 draft, produced at least 20 points and 15 rebounds in a game this season.
Those are the most such games in a single season by a player that was not a first-round draft pick in 31 years, since Bill Laimbeer had 18 games with 20 or more points and at least 15 rebounds for Detroit in 1985-86.
