The Miami Heat suffered their third loss in a row on Tuesday night, falling 136-130 in a double overtime “thriller” against the Orlando Magic. I use, “thriller” sarcastically because it was yet another game in which the Heat failed to close out what should have been a win. And it’s a trend that’s starting to wear the fanbase’s patience thin.
Miami led by five points with 48 seconds remaining. Then, Josh Richardson missed a pivotal free throw. Justise Winslow forgot to box his man out. And Orlando’s Serge Ibaka made a flip shot that even he would admit was fortunate, at best.
