No pun intended, but things seem to be heating up for the Miami Heat. After five straight wins in the past week, including a 97-84 win against a good Milwaukee Bucks team, there appears to be a shift in the Heat’s in-game momentum.
Recently, they have been able to rally late in games, which has been something that the team has struggled with up to this point in the season. This is giving the team a chance to win some of those close games, like their 101-99 win over the Houston Rockets.
As was pointed out in a recent article from the Miami Herald after the win against the Bucks,
Not only is the Heat averaging 56 rebounds a night during this win streak, Miami is also doubling up its opponents on the offensive glass, picking up 58 offensive rebounds compared to 29 offensive rebounds given up.
