Lakers In Town To Face Reeling Heat

MIAMI (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – Frustrations began to boil over following the Miami Heat’s latest loss.

Heat center Hassan Whiteside is mad and frustrated and that could be a bad thing for the visiting Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.

Whiteside matched his career high of 32 points in Tuesday’s 136-130 double-overtime loss to the Orlando Magic but was irate afterwards due to his lack of touches down the stretch.

Whiteside also blocked five shots and had 15 rebounds in the game – he joined Rony Seikaly (1991) as the only Heat players with five straight outings of 15 or more boards – but was disturbed about the late offensive sequences in a game in which he took 22 shots.
