1. Another shorthanded opponent came to town – the Sacramento Kings were missing starters De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Richaun Holmes – but this time the HEAT took care of business and left little to the imagination in winning, 123-100. The Kings had zero answers for the HEAT, who also happened to hit just about every three they took (19-of-40, including a season-high three from Jimmy Butler, who scored 27).
Was it the best, most compelling basketball you’ll see this month? Hardly. But beyond the machinations of what transpired on the court, after a week the HEAT just had you take any win you can get in order to get right.
