The explanations for Wednesday night’s disappointing overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings — the 11th this season by the Miami Heat against an opponent with a losing record who is lottery-bound — sounded a lot like the ones we’ve heard before.
“Just being able to come back from 13, 15 [points] down in the fourth [quarter] shows you what we’re capable of,” said Justise Winslow, who missed three layups in the first half he badly regretted. “We’ve just got to find out a way to have urgency from the jump.”
“We didn’t play Miami Heat basketball in the first half, it came back and got us,” said James Johnson, who had 18 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals, a block and finished a team-best plus 20 for the game.
