The Miami Heat have gotten off to a stunning 24-8 start to the season and sit alone in second place in the Eastern Conference. Thanks to Jimmy Butler and their clutch play in close games, they’ve set themselves apart from the pack in surprising fashion.
The last three games in particular have been critical wins in close games. The Heat have defeated the Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers by a combined five points over the past week, all at home.
Not a bad stretch against three playoff teams.
The body of work for the Miami Heat’s play in the clutch is remarkable so far.
