The common thread in the Miami Heat’s last eight wins is obvious: When the Heat’s opponent fails to crack 100 points, Miami wins.
On Sunday, the Minnesota Timberwolves crossed the century mark with 6:08 remaining, so 6:08 later the Timberwolves took down the Heat for a 113-104 win in Miami.
The loss was only the fifth for the Heat in its last 15 games, but Miami hasn’t won a game when its opponent scores more than 100 points since Dec. 2 against the Utah Jazz.
Minnesota steadily put points up against Miami, and hit 100 points when forward Dario Saric finished an and-one in transition.
