MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Beating the best team in the NBA isn’t impossible.
In Dwyane Wade’s mind, only two things have to happen for teams to beat the Golden State Warriors.
“You have to play near-perfect,” Wade said, “and they have to play very bad.”
Sounds simple, but of course, Wade knows such a combination doesn’t happen often.
That doesn’t mean Wade and the Miami Heat aren’t excited for the challenge. They play host on Wednesday night to the defending champion Warriors — who are 50-5, the best 55-game start in NBA history in a game that would be best described as a clash of styles, Miami’s defense-first ways against Golden State’s offensive juggernaut.
