The Miami Heat’s 120-116 win over the Boston Celtics undoubtedly stands as their biggest win of the season. Coming in Boston and complete with clutch shots from Jimmy Butler, it’s the type of win that eases the anxiety of the Heat fanbase.
Erik Spoelstra went 10 deep last night. Haywood Highsmith closed with Miami’s “core four” of Butler, Bam Adebayo, Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro. Udonis Haslem even logged four minutes of playing time.
But someone making nearly $17 million this season didn’t get off the bench — Duncan Robinson.
In some ways, it appears we’re back where we were during the 2022 playoffs, when Spoelstra shelved Robinson, even when Miami struggled shooting 3s.
