The up and down season of the Miami Heat continues, losing yet another game to a team that should’ve easily beat. It’s been a common pattern for the Heat this season, they lose games to teams that are worse than them in the standings and even teams where their best players are unavailable. Miami now drops to 28-23.
Jimmy Butler dropped 28 points along with Herro adding 24 and Bam adding 17. Adebayo started the game hot, getting to his spots as he usually does with high efficiency. However, he cooled off dramatically since that quarter. He didn’t get nearly as many touches and the Hornets defense adjusted to stronger coverage on him.
