Cup of Joe: Responding To Adversity
Although the HEAT were in the midst of a rough patch when we last met in this space two weeks ago, things got even worse with consecutive losses to the Cavs and Timberwolves.
After succumbing to Minnesota on Feb. 26, Miami fell to 36-22 and found itself five games behind Boston for the third seed in the East.
At the time, the team said that they’d fix things and figure it out.
And well, they did just that.
Since Feb. 28, the HEAT have won five of their last six and own the fifth-best net rating in the league at 5.8. As such, they’re now just a game and a half behind the Celtics in the standings.
