Although it feels like these two teams just played, it’s time for the Miami Heat to start a five-game road trip with a bang. So, off to Los Angeles, they go.
In their last matchup, the Heat blew a 15 point lead to eventually lose by only five points without the services of Goran Dragic and three-time Eastern Conference player of the month Kendrick Nunn. That game showed progress and what the team could do under pressure with Jimmy Butler at the helm. The Heat will again be tested by adversity on this road trip.
