The Miami Heat took a brutal loss in Los Angeles last night as they squandered a 9-point fourth quarter lead to eventually lose in overtime to the Lakers. Miami had plenty of opportunities to win or extend the game and couldn’t convert. On top of that, they lost Jimmy Butler to a sprained ankle.
Now, less than 24 hours from the end of that game, the Heat will have to take on one of the hottest teams in the league, the LA Clippers, winners of 5 straight games.
The Clippers (6-4) are led by Paul George who is having a fantastic season so far averaging 26.
